Tooke Free on Bail in Alameda County Tax Scam Case
California tax consultant James C. Tooke, central figure in a statewide tax assessment scandal, is free on 1100 bail pending arraignment in Alameda County Superior Court. He faces felony charges of bribing a county official and grand theft after a disgruntled ex-employee removed files and destroyed documents linking assessors, including Alameda County Assessor Donald Feragen, to favored firms. His attorney, Stanley Galde, plans to seek a continuance and expects the indictment transcript will take weeks. Tooke was indicted six months to the day after the incident.

They fear Hanoi may require tacit Chinese consent for settlement and that regional conflict could widen. The group toured 12 countries and Hong Kong, reporting Viet Cong control remains about 22 percent with 18 percent in contested areas.
