Top House Dem exempted light rail project benefitting mega-donor from cost-effectiveness regulations, then secured federal subsidies
A top House Democrat to whom billionaire liberal Tom Steyer has donated campaign funds steered more than a billion dollars to an infrastructure project that benefitted his hedge fund.
That hedge fund, Farallon Capital Management, bought up large plots of real estate in San Francisco’s burgeoning Mission Bay neighborhood in 2004. The area is now booming and Farallon has sold most of its property there.
Steyer, who founded and led Farallon until late 2012, has used his fortune to elect Democratic senators and governors. He has pledged to spend $50 million of his own money in 2014 and to raise another $50 million.

It would be nice to see that egotistical, pseudo intellectual, Evita Peron wantabe in the orange outfit wagging her crooked old finger at me through bars.
They don’t even try to hide it any more. They know no one will go after them. See, for another example, Harry Reid.
Do you think Eric Holder will open a DOJ investigation into this obvious corruption? Probably not.
Tom Steyer made his fortune investing in coal. Yeah, dirty coal.
It’s all about the crony capitalism for the $$$$
(and the entitlement army to provide the votes)
And the excuse will be that “everyone does it” or the usual it is someone else’s fault.
And the brain dead masses follow these people.
DemocRAT Culture of Corruption....the beat goes on.
Must defund Steyer.
America is America because those settling her had to fight for thei freedom from dominance by a king....history is deffinately repeating its self with the wealthy controlling the issues they care about...regardless of what citizens want...Mr. Steyer apparently has been controlling the out come of the Keystone Pipeline.......
Pelosi’s office advised us that her instructions are.... to shred any letters (do not show them to her) if the writer is not on her “contributors’ list”
(which explains their persistent lack of replies or only form-letter replies reflecting zero knowledge of any constitutents’ letters’ contents)
We have another name to add to the long list of fascist/crony capitalists who are stealing the treasure of the American people.
Scamming the government has become a big business. It’s number one with liberals. From Feinstein pushing her hubby, Richard Blum into the broker position for selling off tens of BILLIONS (with a “B”) in surplus real estate to the feral urban voters waiting for their EBT deposits to show up, the democrat party is a ponzi scheme infesting our economy.
Jim has said for years that the Democrat Party is a criminal enterprise. This is just more proof of the label.
