Hunter got break on taxes for home
Advertisements [?]
That's Duncan Hunter, troglodyte Republican representative from San Diego and one of Randy Cunningham's bosom buddies.

<snip>

Back in the winter of 1994, after reapportionment reshaped California's congressional districts, Rep. Duncan Hunter went shopping for a new home.

When Rep. Duncan Hunter set out to rebuild his home lost in the Cedar fire, it became clear the tax assessment had been wrong for years. The seven-term Republican from Coronado headed east, to the foothills outside El Cajon, where he discovered what would become his quiet retreat from the vagaries of Beltway politics.

The house in Alpine was in bad shape. Hunter and his wife, Helynn, looked past the leaky roof, water-stained drywall and torn-up floors and saw 2.7 acres of potential. They paid the $175,000 asking price and poured $160,000 into repairs and improvements.

Tax rolls listed the property as a two-bedroom, 2½-bath house with 2,946 square feet of living space. The property records were wrong.

According to Hunter's insurance carrier, the house was more than twice that size – about 6,200 square feet. The property also featured a 2,000-square-foot guest house, a swimming pool and tennis court.

The San Diego Union-Tribune is behaving quite out-of-character lately. On Friday their editors called for Hastert to resign, and now this. I hope their reporters are smelling another Pulitzer Prize in the offing and have the goods on Duncan Hunter, who was also rumored to be well-connected to the same pack of crooks that were bribing Cunningham.
