Los Angeles County Assessor John Noguez finds himself facing more felony counts in the ongoing bribery/tax evasion scandal rocking the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office. The new charges relate to three more building where Mr. Noguez and consultant Ramin Salari allegedly took bribes to lower the building’s assessments. Both Mr. Noguez and Mr. Salari pleaded not guilty to the new charges.
The last time I wrote about this scandal was last October. The preliminary hearing is set for January.
