GOP Rep: Think of My ChildrenRep. Gary Miller [R-CA] grew up poor. Even though he’s now worth more than $13 million, he says he’s still worried about his family’s financial security.So, while federal authorities investigate some of his real estate transactions, he says he’ll keep on making deals…
“Some people are arguing I shouldn’t have the opportunity to make an investment that every other American citizen has an opportunity to make,” he said. “I’ve got kids, I’ve got grandkids, and it’d be nice, when I get ready to go, when they’re older, if I can help them.”
Miller, 58, who makes $165,200 as a congressman, is being scrutinized for the millions he made selling properties to two Southern California communities outside his district. FBI agents have interviewed officials in both towns.
