Ward Delinquent On Property Taxes
Congressional candidate Vaughn Ward is delinquent on his Valley County property taxes for the fourth time since 2004, the Valley County Treasurer’s office said Tuesday. Ward and his wife, Kirsten, own a half-acre undeveloped lot in Cascade, across a road from Lake Cascade. The lot was assessed at $96,700 for 2009. Ward recorded his deed in 2002 and has said he hopes to build a home there. The first half taxes of $414.22 for 2009 were due Dec. 20 and have not been paid. With penalties and 1 percent monthly interest, the Wards now owe $434.80/Dan Popkey, Idaho Statesman. More here.
Question: I'm really not trying to pick on GOP congressional wannabe Vaughn Ward. But the hits keep coming. Popkey goes on to note that Ward and his wife, Kirsten, paid $4389 for their $500,000 home in Arlington, Va. Is this another example of not paying attention to details? Or something else?
