Assessor Hinshaw Fight Over Legal Aid Reaches Court
The Orange County Counsel asked the Appellate Court to deny special counsel to Assessor Andrew J. Hinshaw in a dispute with the board over assessment handling. Clayton Parker contends there is no conflict of interest by County Counsel Adrian Kuyper, while Hinshaw cites possible impropriety linked to a land exchange involving Irvine Co and parcels in Upper Newport Bay. The standoff stems from a long running clash with the supervisors since 1966 over tax concessions and development in Laguna Niguel.
