Almost $300K she will be paying back.

McCaskill will sell 'the damn plane' - David Catanese - POLITICO.com

Quote:
The National Republican Senatorial Committee just revealed a new video capitalizing on McCaskill's past statement where she said, "If my walk doesn't match my talk, shame on me and don't ever vote for me again."

Well, that was quick.

Well, I think we can put MO in the "red" column for 2012.

Quote:
McCaskill's confession prompted Republicans to point out that she is co-sponsoring a bill with Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla), which would require federal employees stay current on their taxes, and has also sought to add new rules for government-paid foreign travel undertaken by members of Congress.
Oh, those rich, democrat tax evaders, thinking they can get away with stuff like this.

You mean that plane she didn't pay personal property taxes on to the state of Missouri since 2007? That plane?

Quote:
In that context, McCaskill admitted that failing to pay taxes on her personal aircraft "is not good."

"I've been sick to my stomach for four days that this happened," she said. "This is just a mistake which, as I've said, I take responsibility for."
Claire is sick that she got caught with her hand in the cookie jar, nothing more.

Taking responsibility would mean handing her letter of resignation over to the Governor of Missouri along with her delinquent tax payment + interest.

Claire's pilot to St. Louis Airport might sound something like this: Lambert Tower, this is Tax Evader One, we are on final approach, request permission to land.

Quote:
“Can Missouri voters even believe anything Senator McCaskill says anymore? This is the third time in less than two weeks that she’s had to change her story about her private plane, and she only admitted any of her wrongdoing once she got caught by the media. Now, millionaire Claire McCaskill wants to simply write yet another big check and hope people won’t ask any more questions. It’s high time for McCaskill to finally live up to the same standards of transparency and accountability that she demands of others by immediately releasing her shell company tax records.”

I'll bet she never filled a Loan Application out first either.

So then she should not be running in 2012, correct?

It isn't real clear to me what exactly she did wrong, other than not having her plane registered right for taxes.

Not paying taxes = crime. Try it sometime with your income. Just "forget" to pay taxes on your house, car, or heck your income. I am sure the IRS will be very forgiving.

So in addition to using tax payer money to pay for political trips on a plan that she partially owns she also didn't pay the taxes on the money they made from that plane. What a piece of work she is, sounds like a perfect fit for the Obama White House.

What's nauseating about this is that her "contrition" is actually an insult to voters' intelligence. Does anyone really believe this was a "mistake?" That she would try to pass it off as such says that she thinks we're stupid.

Vote her out.
