From The Daily Fetch
A mere weeks before making the motion and casting a vote directing the San Jose Redevelopment Agency to pay substantially above the appraised amount for land, Sam Liccardo took campaign cash directly from the property owner and his family for his city council re-election campaign in 2009 and 2010. The property purchase was acquired to build a road to a baseball stadium that isn’t going to be built.
The Akatiff family, who benefitted from Liccardo’s motion and vote to pay them $4,610,000 (nearly a million over the appraised value) for their land, apparently want to ensure Liccardo stays in City Hall. They have written 10 more checks to Liccardo for his mayoral run.
