.... DIANE ALSO WANTS TO SEEL PUBLIC LANDS VIA HER HUSBAND S REAL ESTATE FIRM = BILLIONS ...... Blums wife, Senator Dianne Feinstein, has received scrutiny due to her husbands government contracts and extensive business dealings with China and her past votes on trade issues with the country. Blum has denied any wrongdoing, however.[3] Critics have argued that business contracts with the US government awarded to a company (Perini) controlled by Blum may raise a potential conflict-of-interest issue with the voting and policy activities of his wife.[4] URS Corp, which Blum had a substantial stake in, bought EG&G, a leading provider of technical services and management to the U.S. military, from The Carlyle Group in 2002; EG&G subsequently won a $600m defense contract.[1] In 2009 it was reported that Blums wife Sen. Dianne Feinstein introduced legislation to provide $25 billion in taxpayer money to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, a government agency that had recently awarded her husbands real estate firm, CB Richard Ellis, what the Washington Times called a lucrative contract to sell foreclosed properties at compensation rates higher than the industry norms.[5] ..
