yup! from RedMassGroup (Baker campaign, get a “watchdog” ad ready...a sleeping huge St Bernard who doesn’t notice
that 15k wasn’t paid by CAHILL’S CAMPAIGN!):

Tim Cahill admitted to the Boston Globe yesterday that his campaign failed to pay $15,000 in state income taxes for employees over the past ten years.

State Treasurer Timothy P. Cahill acknowledged last night that his campaign committee failed to pay an estimated $15,000 in state income taxes over the past decade, as required by law.

Cahill’s campaign made the admission in an unusual written statement following a Globe inquiry yesterday afternoon about why there was no record of checks to the state to cover taxes on interest the campaign committee’s account has earned from investments it made in certificates of deposit.

Cahill, who was evidently caught off-guard by the lapse, vowed to pay the taxes immediately. But the delinquency is a source of embarrassment for the two-term treasurer, who has sought to promote an image as a prudent watchdog of public dollars and guardian of the public Treasury.
