Rep. Ken Calvert has made CREW's list of most corrupt members of Congress for the past four years. One reason is his illegal land purchase:

A grand jury in Riverside County, California has examined the 2006 land sale by the Jurupa Community Services District to Rep. Calvert and his business partners and concluded the sale was illegal because the district failed to first offer the land to other public agencies.

In August 2008, the Jurupa Area Recreation and Park District (JARPD) filed a lawsuit against the Jurupa Community Services District for fraud and deceit for selling the property to Rep. Calvert and his partners.

On June 16, 2009, the Riverside County supervisors voted 3-1 to approve a zoning change to Rep. Calvert’s property, reclassifying it from agricultural to commercial property. The change will allow Rep. Calvert and his business partner, Stadium Properties, to build a storage facility that will likely increase the value of the property. Despite the increase in land value, JARPD continues to hope to be able to purchase the property from Stadium Properties, but it is unclear if Stadium Properties will sell the land. Rep. Calvert describes himself as a “passive one-third partner” in the land partnership.

The Hill reports that the FBI is still investigating this deal:

Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif.) is denying he’s the subject of an FBI investigation into public property his partnership group purchased.

The FBI is looking into a lawsuit a Jurupa, Calif., parks district has filed in connection with the sale of property to Stadium Properties, a partnership that includes Calvert.

Dan Rodriguez, general manager of the Jurupa Area Recreation and Parks District (JARPD), confirmed that two months ago an FBI agent talked to him about the land deal.
