[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 2807736, member: 3371"] Congressman Darrell Issa has used his position in congress to steer millions of dollars in highway spending earmarks toward roads and highways that border properties owned by his company. The value of the land soared and Issa is now one of the richest men in congress. I have always heard that then Senator Bellmon obtained inside information about the route of the I-240 expansion and bought up land along the route, which he later sold for a profit. I don't doubt this is motivated in the same way a bit. [/QUOTE]
