Even if the rate is reasonable, which it probably is, this guy (the lobbyist) is probably smart enough to know not to bribe with free housing, as that stuff is very traceable.
Of course property rental is an interesting thing, many people own a house or an apartment building for additional income. I plan on keeping the home I live in now to rent as opposed to selling it, I will make more money that way. This guy could own a four-plex or something like that that he used to live in, but kept as an investment. The article doesn't even try to point out anything wrong, it is even possible that Boehner didn't know the lobbyist owned the place, as often times owners are sheltered by management companies. Of course this is speculation on my part, but I still don't see how this was a story. > -----Original Message----- > From: dana tierney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2006 4:53 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: Boehner Rents Apartment Owned by Lobbyist in D.C. > > I saw that and am not sure what I think of it. it certainly looks bad, but > if this is a market-rate rental... hmm.
