Miller Says He May Sell Transportation Bonds
People. Rep. Gary Miller, R-Calif., said this week he would sell his investment in a tollway if the Transportation Corridor Agency is successful in building the southern extension to the road, the Orange County Register reported. A spokesman said Miller wants to "make clear that he is committed to upholding the ethical responsibilities of his office." The paper reported earlier this week Miller had steered money to and lobbied for the southern extension of the 241 tollway while holding $20,000 in bonds. The bonds are repaid by drivers' tolls on the Eastern and Foothill toll roads between Irvine and Rancho Santa Margarita, which partly run through Miller's district. Miller has denied backing the tollway for any personal interest. "If TCA ever completes Foothill-South, I will sell my bonds before completion of the project to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest," Miller said in the statement.
