Capitol Alert

The latest on California politics and government

The Sacramento man who bought Rep. Laura Richardson's foreclosed home has dropped a lawsuit against her and her bank, after the bank sought to rescind the sale.

James York bought the home of the Long Beach Democratic congresswoman at a foreclosure sale for $388,000. Richardson had bought the home for $535,000 and owed the bank more than $578,000.

The Press-Telegram reported the details of the abandoned suit, including this quote from York:

"I'm not supposed to say anything," he said. "I think you guys can figure out what happened. I only make business decisions and nothing else."
