California Mills Act - a Kleptocrats Tool

The state of California has unfortunately given a powerful tool to allow corrupt local governments to reward themselves and their friends and relatives with a generous property tax break. It is known as the Mills Act. The Santa Clara City Council in an open act of Kleptocracy voted one of their own - Dominic Caserta - a Mills Act property tax reduction for his utterly unremarkable one story stucco house on Fremont Street.
