Senate candidate Angela Alsobrooks (D) will pay back taxes after improperly claiming homestead and senior property tax credits for homes in D.C. and Prince George’s County.

According to her campaign, the error resulted in Alsobrooks paying more taxes to the county than she would have if the homestead credit had been properly applied to her new home.
Alsobrooks also owned a home in Washington, D.C., that improperly received tax credits for more than a decade...

Remind me of Leona Helmsly "only the little people pay taxes"
And of course she will raise taxes for everyone except herself.

Why did CNN report?

I just looked up her age - she’s 53. How does she possibly think she’d qualify as a senior?

“ AlsoBrooks is a crooked Democrat tax cheat.”

Hogan can pull off an upset here, but there are many FReepers who hope he loses. True, he is a RINO, but he counts as an R when it comes to determining control of the Senate.
