Caroline Kennedy Apparently Withdrew Over Tax Problems And A Housekeeper
No word on what the tax problems were, but I’m assuming the housekeeper is probably an issue with citizenship status.
ALBANY — Problems involving taxes and a household employee surfaced during the vetting of Caroline Kennedy and derailed her candidacy for the Senate, a person close to Gov. David A. Paterson said on Thursday, in an account at odds with Ms. Kennedy’s own description of her reasons for withdrawing.
I wonder what the tax problems were specifically. She was less than forthcoming with personal financial information earlier in the vetting process. I wonder if she was covering something up?
And I wonder how these alleged tax problems would compare to, say, Timothy Geithner’s tax woes. Geithner failed to pay $43,000 in taxes, yet he’s still in the running to head up the IRS. How bad were Caroline Kennedy’s problems that she had to resign?
