[upsdriver]

And then blames them on the dog.

The property in question is a condo and ceased to be in delinquency yesterday.

Will post link when it's a legitimate, trusted site

The the McCains were in deep do they wouldn’t have been able to purchase the other unit some weeks back.

The only thing Newsweek is good for is lining my

See post #42.

Right. They won’t even name the entity holding title.

Thanks for the informative link. It appears that San Diego county officials were sending the bill to the wrong address.

"...an elderly aunt of Mrs. McCain's lives in the condo, and the bank that manages the trust has not been receiving tax bills on the property."

It appears that San Diego county officials were sending the bill to the wrong address.

In another state. And to a bank managing the property, not to the McCains.

All that work signing up on FR to post this BS.
I guess DU did’t tell you, we arn’t all stupid at FR

San Diego County officials, it turns out, have been sending out tax notices on the La Jolla property, an oceanfront condo, for four years without receiving a response. County records show the bills, which were mailed to a Phoenix address associated with Mrs. McCain's trust, were returned by the post office.

It seems to me the San Diego County officials didn't do their jobs very well. I doubt they tried very hard to find the McCains if the tax notices have veen RETURNED BY THE POST OFFICE FOR FOUR YEARS, Newsweek!

How is that Rezko guy doing these days that sold property to the Obama's for less than Rezko paid for it? Oh yeah, he has been indicted!

HYPOCRITES!

Much ado about nothing....

That's par for the course. The bank managed the property/portfolio incompetently.

Suzanne Smalley (one of the ‘reporters’ on this ‘news’ story) is married to Seth Hanlon, who was a legislative aide to Representative Harold E. Ford Jr., a Democrat from Tennessee, from 1999 to 2004, and Representative Martin T. Meehan, a Massachusetts Democrat, from 2004 to 2005.

Newweak wouldn’t let facts get in the way of a good smear.

[Mojave]

That raises an interesting question. How long has the reporter known of the address problem and failed to notice up the bank?

[airborne]

Looks like in his haste to post this smear, 'GorB' didn't consider that we'd check the facts.
