McMahon Pays Stamford Property Tax Late; Was Charged $1,217 InterestLast edited Fri Sep 21, 2012, 06:55 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

Republican U.S. Senate Candidate Linda McMahon and her husband, WWE chairman Vince McMahon, were more than a month and a half late in paying the first half of their annual $54,110 in property tax on the multi-million-dollar condominium unit that they co-own in a building at 1 Broad St., Stamford, city records show. The first half of the annual tax bill was supposed to be paid by Aug. 1, but was delinquent as of early September, with $28,272 due as of Sept. 4, apparently including interest, the city’s website still showed on Friday. A call to the tax collector’s office Friday revealed that a payment for not just the first six-month installment, but for the full year — in the amount of $55,327 — arrived in the office on Friday. Of that amount, $1,217 was interest, records showed. Delinquent notices went out last week, an employee said on the phone. McMahon’s campaign has been slamming Democratic opponent Chris Murphy in recent days for being late on mortgage, rent and car tax payments.

Amazingly hypocritical! Maybe it happened because she lost track of all the homes she has?

1. I hate to say this, but what is the big deal?
|
I'm late with some of my bills from time to time. In fact, I haven't paid my rent on time since November. I'd expect my representatives (even if they are filthy rich by my standards) to understand where I'm comming from.
So long as they don't preach a "holier than though" attitude when it comes to the 47%. I think some humility is good for anyone. |

6. She has been running one of the scummiest campaigns I've ever seen...
|
...pointing out that Murphy only went to 20% of his committee and sub-committee hearings (not uncommon), didn't pay his bills, yadda yadda. Now this - caught doing EXACTLY what she's spent millions of dollars complaining about Murphy's pecadillos.
Here in Connecticut, it's a HUGE deal, and may tip the election in Murphy's favor. |

9. The McMahon's have assets valued at nearly 500 million dollars.
|
If you have that much wealth, not paying a bill for $28,000 is a clear sign as to how greedy you are.

They are Never humble about it and always dodge the facts until the press gets distracted by the next big lie. SOP for Rove in Texas and ever since. I suspect there exists a set of guidelines for this tactic since so many current Tea Party candidates are turning up guilty of financial sins in some if not many degrees. |
