World: Ethics Panel Probes Duncan's Home Sale
By Mick Hinton/Tulsa World Capitol Bureau ~ An investigator for the Oklahoma Ethics Commission has contacted a former neighbor of state Rep. Rex Duncan seeking information about the sale of the lawmaker's home for a lucrative price to a Sand Springs landfill company.
Realtor Tom Hardgrave told the Tulsa World that he has been contacted by Darey Roberts, the commission's investigator, and was asked to provide information about the land sale.
Hardgrave, who lived in the neighborhood and had sold several houses there, was Duncan's most vocal critic after learning how much money the lawmaker received from the sale of his former home.
He believes that Duncan, R-Sand Springs, received special treatment from the landfill company after he had threatened to oppose an expansion.
Responding to the investigator's Nov. 5 request, Hardgrave said in a letter to the Ethics Commission that Duncan received "in excess of $70,000 more than the home was valued at the time of the sale."
Duncan never put his home on the market but sold it directly to American Environmental Landfill. Read the entire story at www.tulsaworld.com.
