Overlooked in coverage of Tim Geithner’s and Tom Daschle’s unpaid taxes is the $70,000 that Minnesota Democratic senatorial candidate Al Franken has admitted to owing in back taxes, interest, and penalties.
Last April, the California Tax Franchise Board revealed that Franken owed the state $5,800 in taxes, fines, and penalties because he did not file returns in 2003 through 2007. Franken then admitted that he owed more than $50,000 in back taxes to 17 states.
Franken blamed everything on his accountant of 18 years, saying he failed to report the income from the comedian’s celebrity appearances and speeches in those states where he made money outside of Minnesota and New York, where he lives. Franken claimed he overpaid taxes in those two states and will file for refunds.
But the accountant, Allen Chanzis, has not verified Franken’s account. In fact, he has said he was told not to talk to the press. Nor has Franken released any documentation to show that he overpaid taxes in two states.
“I’ve been told to say ‘no comment,’” the accountant told reporters.

Plus his accounting bill for filing 17 state returns for 5 prior years will also be over $50K.
WTH!? Where do all of these TAX CHEATS come from? The demoRAT party!
Looks like al would fit in with the rest of the crooks in washington.

excellent graphic
Well, his is not an appointment and if he wins the recount, he is in, taxes owed or not. The RAT House would have to impeach him and you know that isn’t going to happen.
Most corrupt regime in history! Rats.
Thank you, Democrats, for reinforcing the accuracy of the label “Limousine Liberal”.
Every night I pray that Rezko and Blago roll over on Obama!
Well this should put him out of the contest, right?
Franken, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This “SHOULD” stop him from holding office...!!
Hey, it's better than 57 States
