In the Los Angeles Times, Orange County Edition.January 17, 1981 Page 1 Part IISettlement Proposed in Tandy Case, Company Involved In Bribe Of Ex-Assessor Would Recover Funds. By Leo C., Wolinsky, Times Staff WriterAttorneys for the Orange County assessor’s office have tentatively agreed to settle a 10- year-old tax dispute, competing the last chapter in a bribery scandal that ended the career of former Rep. Andrew J. Hinshaw,.The settlement, if approved by county supervisors, will return more than $200,000 to the Tandy Corp., owners of Radio Shack, the electronics firm that figured prominently in Hinshaw’s activates that the he served as Orange County’s assessor.Hinshaw’s 1976 conviction on two counts of bribery was based on allegations that he pressured Tandy into giving him free stereo equipment and contributing to his political campaigns to assure a favorable tax assessment on imports stored in the firm’s Garden Grove warehouse.According to evidence produced during the course of the investigation “raised questions in our minds,” said Deputy County Counsel Laurance C. Watson, and prompted the county to overrule Hinshaw’s lower assessments. Tandy eventually was charged a total of $232,932 pending a final determination of the case.In the mean time several court decisions placed the tax issue in question. Tandy filed suit against the county charging that it was being singled out in a discriminatory manner. The firm claimed Hibshaw’s final assessment had been levied lawfully.The settlement now being proposed by the county represented an end to an investigation that concluded that Hinshaw was correct in granting exemptions on six tax bills amounting to $196,109. The county proposes to refund that amount to Tandy along with interest since 1975, when the firm agreed to pay the tax bill under protest.Legal point of view“We looked at it from a purely legal point of view and I guess you could say Hinshaw was right,” Watson said.As reported in the Los Angeles Times, Orange County Edition.January 17, 1981 Page 1 Part II"@en }
