FBI raids Contra Costa County Assessor and office amid probe
FBI agents raided the home of Contra Costa County Assessor Gus Kramer, his Martinez office, and the home of Assistant Assessor Vince Robb as part of an ongoing investigation into county property value assessments. Kramer called the move an intimidation tactic, noting his long tenure and past scrutiny, including a 2019 grand jury accusation; Robb’s position will be filled as Kramer plans to retire in December 2026.
