Land Deal Under Fire as Feudal Domain Model
State legislator Knox described a Sacramento area land deal as a feudal domain, accusing a public agency formed by six family members of aiding speculative schemes. He cited a 170 acre farm on the Sacramento River, more than 500000 dollars in June 1963 bonds, a 100 percent default on early interest and principal, slow subdivision progress, and a marina project funded by bond proceeds. He charged the agency is public in name only and warned it could resemble a wildcat operation.
