Tom Steyer Under VHR Investigation for Renting Home to First Family Without a Permit
The Nevada Globe ^ | 21 August 2023 | Megan Barth

Steyer could face $20,000 civil penalty per county ordinance if found to be in violation

The Globe received a scoop this morning that a complaint was filed by a Douglas County resident with the Vacation Home Rental (VHR) Advisory Board against billionaire climate investor Tom Steyer, owner of the Glenbrook mansion that the First Family is renting while on a nine-day vacation in Lake Tahoe.

The complaint reportedly cites that Steyer does not have a VHR permit for his $18 million waterfront manse. If found to be in violation, Steyer could be subject to a $20,000 civil penalty per county ordinance.

This morning, The Globe reached out to the VHR board via email and received a reply from the Program Manager/Head of Code Enforcement Ernie Strehlow that states: “Several inquires have been received on this address. We cannot comment further as we are actively investigating any Douglas County Nevada code violations on this rental.”

Steyer, the California founder of Farallon Capital and co-founder of Onecalifornia Bank and Beneficial State Bank, was the single largest funder of efforts to impeach President Trump before deciding to seek the Democratic nomination himself in 2020.

“Steyer was born in Manhattan. His mother, Marnie (née Fahr) was a teacher of remedial reading at the Brooklyn House of Detention and his father, Roy Henry Steyer was a partner in the New York law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell, and was a prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials.”

“A 2014 New York Times article said coal-mining companies that Farallon invested in or lent money to under Steyer had increased their coal production by 70 million tons annually since receiving money from Farallon”

“In 2016, some critics noted that Farallon had also invested in private prisons while Steyer was leading the hedge fund. According to SEC filings, Steyer was at the helm as the hedge fund purchased nearly $90 million of Corrections Corporation of America stock (5.5% of the company’s outstanding shares).”

“An early supporter of Hillary Clinton in 2008, Steyer became one of Barack Obama’s most prolific fundraisers. Steyer served as a delegate to the Democratic National Conventions in 2004 and 2008. Steyer has been a member of the Hamilton Project and has been involved with the Democracy Alliance, a network of progressive donors whose membership in the group requires them to donate at least $200,000 a year to recommended organizations.”

“In 2012, Steyer hosted a fundraiser at his home for President Obama. At a private meeting, Steyer, along with fifteen other top donors, reportedly pressed the president regarding the Keystone pipeline, which Steyer opposed. Obama was said to be supportive of Steyer’s views, but reluctant to put his full weight behind any initiatives without better proof.”

“In 2014, Steyer funded political campaigns to advocate for the election of at least nine candidates and to influence climate change policy through NextGen Climate. Those races included helping elect Ed Markey of Massachusetts over Stephen Lynch to the Senate in a special election in 2013. Reportedly, Steyer spent $1.8 million attacking Lynch, including money for a plane Steyer paid to fly over a Boston Red Sox game with a banner that read, “Steve Lynch for Oil Evil Empire”.”

“Steyer contributed $87,057,853 in funds exclusively to Democratic Party candidates during the 2016 election cycle.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Steyer

“Beginning in October 2017, Steyer spent approximately $10 million for a television ad campaign advocating the impeachment of Donald Trump, and more on a digital ad campaign to call for Trump’s impeachment. In the ad, Steyer identifies himself only as an “American citizen” and alleges that Trump “brought us to the brink of nuclear war, obstructed justice at the FBI, and in direct violation of the Constitution has taken money from foreign governments and threatened to shut down news organizations that report the truth.”

Steyer strongly competes with Soros and Bankman-Fried for the most Democrat contributions.

Nothing will happen. He’s a Democrat.

In this case, something will have to happen, but in the end, no accountability, he's a Dem.

FWIW According to the law, you have to be advertising or operating the property as an unpermitted vacation rental.

So is Steyer actively renting the place out, or just letting Biden use it and they're paying him the 'fair market value' so it won't be seen as a gift?

“Civil Penalty of up to $20,000”

The keywords here are “up to“. $1 is up to $20,000.

Renting? Really? To biden? I’d be shocked if brandon didn’t demand dough from steyer.

Biden is the a&&hole who charges the secret service rent to stay in his Del guest house while protecting his worthless life.

Wonder how much rent they are paying — one dollar?

Someone needs to go all “emoluments clause” on their azzes after the way the Dems persecuted Trump for his family’s beautiful hotel that improved DC greatly. The former government post office building was covered in black sooty grime and like a rabbit warren inside. He made it a light-filled, airy and spacious lobby with restaurants and shops and tastefully luxurious rooms above, a great place for high-class visitors to the downtown area.

It appears the complaints were filed by Lake Tahoe neighbors.

Probably had their bank accounts and stool samples examined by the Secret Service and FBI beforehand, and men in black ordering them around with not-so-veiled threats since the patient and his caregivers arrived.
