Cindy McCain Settles Back Property Taxes

Tax Bill For Property In San Diego County Had Been Sent To Wrong Address

(AP)  Cindy McCain's debts with the county tax collector appear to be settled.

Officials said Monday a trust controlled by the multimillionaire wife of Republican presidential hopeful John McCain had initiated payment on $1,743 owed in property taxes on a condominium in the tony La Jolla Shores area.

The payment, due in April, was scheduled to default Tuesday.

"You can reasonably assume that it is paid," San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister said Monday.

Additional bills totaling $6,744 for the years 2004 through 2007 were paid by the trust on Friday after Newsweek magazine questioned why the trust had fallen into arrears on the two-bedroom, two-bath oceanfront property, McAllister said.

Jeff Olson, division chief of assessment services for San Diego County, said the post office returned tax statements for those years sent to an incorrect mailing address in Phoenix, where Cindy McCain's trusts are registered.

No address change was recorded after the condominium deed was transferred from another family trust in 2002, Olson said.

Brian Rogers, a spokesman for McCain's campaign, said Monday there would be no comment beyond what Newsweek had reported.

The Arizona senator's wife disclosed in May that she had a total income of more than $6 million in 2006.

Heiress to a large Arizona beer distributorship, Cindy McCain's worth has been estimated at more than $100 million. Her assets, as listed in her husband's financial disclosure forms, are vast. But those forms only require assets to be listed in broad ranges, and many of hers are valued at simply "over $1 million."

Deadbeat.

The wrong address? They didn''t know that they owed unpaid taxes?

These are the same people who want to be stewards of th national economy and the federal budget. We can do better.

[zerato-2009]

I am so glad taht they have become taxpayers. I guess she really needs to continue the bush taxcuts. She really needs the money

[libh8er]

Sounds like something that leftwing rag would do. Wonder how far they''ve come in their investigation of Dodd (D) et al getting sweetheart loans from companies under their committee''s investagatory umbrella?

Oh, my bad...they aren''t being investigated by Newsleft. How silly of me to expect fairness.

[rgrxx175]

maybe she was to high on pills that she forgot to pay that bill?

[suet123-2009]

How many houses do you have to own before you "forget" to pay your property taxes on one of them??

[nreno1]

You can barely find this story. OTHER news agencies, which shall remain nameless, would be continuously repeating this were it the other candidate! How fiscally responsible is this? What is the definition of eliteist? And what would happen if you or I missed our property taxes for 4 years - you think and OOPS and apology with a check would do?!?

[rgrxx175]

is this mccain''s first wife or second, i lost count?

[undermyboot]

Cindy is a lot better prize than that sick wife McCain divorced. I mean, a sick wife is such a drag! A rich wife who can fly him around for free and provide SEVEN homes is a lot better than sitting alongside a sick wife''s bed.

McCain sure made out. What a GREAT GUY!

The answer, evidently, is "SEVEN".

[patriot12436]

The story states the bill had been sent to the wrong address. When you have as many business prospects as she does i is natutal that somethig could slip by. I guess if it had been obama, then you wouldn''t be commenting. Why don''t you question him about buying a piece of land from Renzsko for 150 k when it was worth 750k ?

[patriot12436]

faith
Is that you faith_in_w ?

[watcher269-2009]

This must of been hard on the McCain''s - ya know, living paycheck to paycheck.

[rowdywicca]

Hell Obama only has ONE house that he scammed off some of his corrupt Muslim buddies...and didn''t pay his taxes from 2005 to 2008? How could you forget to pay your taxes on your primary residence?? Nor all of your parking tickets from college that he got called on to pay after he geared up his stupid campaign.

Ooops!!!

[patriot12436]

Notice how obama supporters shut up and slink away when asked a direct honest question ?

$1,743 owed in property taxes on a condominium in the tony La Jolla Shores area.

The payment, due in April, was scheduled to default Tuesday.

"You can reasonably assume that it is paid," San Diego County Treasurer-Tax Collector Dan McAllister said Monday.

Additional bills totaling $6,744 for the years 2004 through 2007 were paid by the trust on Friday after Newsweek magazine questioned why the trust had fallen into arrears on the two-bedroom, two-bath oceanfront property, McAllister said.

Further proof of two America''s, those who work and pay taxes. Those that are worth 100 million and don''t worry about trivial things such as taxes.... If it was going into default, what happened to the interest owed?????

[toldyouso12]

Hundreds of millions of dollars to their name and too lazy and stingy to pay a couple of thousand dollars--how much to bet, if this had been the average Joe--the property would have been auctioned off for the back taxes by now? Elitism at its finest. LMAO

Not only that, but I used to live in San Diego and worked in La Jolla. In 1984, the cheapest home in La Jolla was almost a million dollars and by 1989 you could not get any condo not even a closet for less than 750K. It is considered one of the most expensive areas in the world to live in. Given that, how in the hell could they have a 2 bdrm condo with taxes of only 1,700 dollars in ANY year? Property taxes in Chula Vista on a 2 bdrm condo were over 3K in 1984!!!!!


Guess, if you have enough money, you don''t have to pay for stuff like the rest of us--wouldn''t be surprised if the rich are getting their gas for free, now.

McCain''s first wife stood by and waited for him while he was a POW. She ended up handicapped and stayed by his side when he returned home. He repaid her by having an affair with Cindy and dumping his first wife and kids for her. Essentially, McCain follows in the rich tradition of wife swapping and humiliation as practiced by Rudy Guiliani, Newt Gingrich, et al. i.e. fvcking over the first wife and then dumping her and marrying their fvck partner. The Republicans are intent on us putting SOMEONE''S FORMER MISTRESS into the white house. If not Rudy and Judy, Then McCain and the wife he publicly calls a trollop and ****.

heck at our level of life, if one owes more than a buck, the irs et al will swoop down on you like an eagle and snatch away your home. reblicrats get all the breaks and then we have to pay thier bill via our taxes

[antoniof123]

So now we see the effect of drugs, she steals from charity, then refuses to pay property taxes and is worth how much.

I guess that is why they call it dope.

"doh"pe

[ianlou]

Did you see Cindy McCain touring that auto factory?
She had that look on her face that said "so this is where the little people spend most of the lives".

no worse than babs bush saying "these ppl have it good here in the superdome, much better than before the storm hit" not verbatum, but the gist

funny once we "libs" bring up the truth you all shut up (and you know who i''m talking about)

I think it was more of a case of her wandering if she could score some drugs from one of the workers.

[aldon61]
