Sen. Claire McCaskill is at it again: The Missouri Democrat missed the filing deadline on a Washington D.C., condominium three times since 2008, the Kansas City Star reports:
Records show that the Missouri Democrat missed the fall 2011 deadline by about three weeks. McCaskill paid $197 in penalties and interest on top of the $1,514 in taxes owed for half the year.
McCaskill also was about a month late paying her spring 2010 property tax bill on the condo. She paid $198 in penalties and interest that time. Records show she also paid a fine and interest for a late payment in 2008.
"Unlike other jurisdictions that bill just once a year, they bill twice a year," McCaskill said. "Somehow the second bill that came to my condo in D.C. slipped through the cracks, and it got paid late."
In 2011, McCaskill announced she owed approximately $300,000 in back taxes on a private plane owned by the Senator and her husband, after a later dismissed ethics complaint about funding for the plane. McCaskill sold the plane in September.
