TEXAS WATCHDOG’S STEVE MILLER reports that controller candidate and current councilmember Ron Green owes the IRS $120,000+ in back taxes. Green says it’s an honest dispute that is a matter of public record, that he hasn’t tried to hide anything, and that the IRS is a bureaucracy that moves slowly.
Nonetheless, a candidate running for controller (of all offices) may find this one tougher to sell to voters.
UPDATE: We just remembered that this is the candidate the Chron’s Caucasian Think Tank endorsed. So, either they knew about this and didn’t tell voters or did as lousy a job with vetting as they do writing, reasoning, and editing. Doh!
