This, of course, necessitates a breathless Newsweek article with no fewer than four reporters on the by-line.

Apparently the back taxes are for a property where an elderly aunt of Cindy’s lives.  The taxes weren’t paid because the financial trust that manages the property hasn’t been getting the property tax bills in the mail.

Certainly Newsweek hasn’t assigned four of its intrepid reporters to the matter yet.
