Flannery Associates, meanwhile, has already alleged that some farmers have conspired to drive up the price of real estate. Flannery Associates say they bought around 2,500 acres for $20.8 million from Thomas McCormack, a director of the Bank of Rio Vista whose family founded and ran the bank for nearly 100 years.
Some of the families have since settled with Flannery Associates, but others remain steadfast and have the backing of Rep. Garamendi.
