O’Byrne should upgrade and try to get a cabinet post in the Obama administration. He seems to have the proper tax credentials.
Hard to believe that Gov. Paterson couldn’t see it coming.
*Rimshot* Thanks! I’ll be here all week! Try the veal. Don’t forget to tip your waitress!
(It’s a two-fer! I get to sound like a racist AND someone making fun of the disabled.)
Face it, New York...your Governor sucks. And so does mine.
I’m going to try the “Geithner Exemption” this year...and include my dggie’s therapeutic massages ( she has arthritis and it really helps her!)
Oh yeah.
Paterson is desperate. I believe it was just yesterday that the NY Post ran an article about The Accidental Governor’s notoriety for laziness, party-hearty, unfocused work habits and the endless series of pratfalls he’s been making ever since he let his Man Friday go.
Hey, if Obama can laugh off tax-filing problems in his underlings so can the Gov.
Oh my, yes indeedy hire him back IMMEDIATELY!
I figured he was suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome since he failed to pay his taxes from 2001 through 2005.
This news really galls me. His office goes out and denigrates Caroline Schlossberg, throwing out allegations that she had tax problems, and now Paterson wants to bring this guy back? Paterson knew about O'Byrne's tax problems while they were going on, and looked the other way. And he just gave several of his aides large raises after telling everyone else they should forego their contracted raises.
I thought today was bad enough when I read he wants to charge people $10 for filing their State tax forms.
I got so incensed, I called his office, along with the offices of my State Senator and State Assemblywoman. My State pension and Social Security are not subject to State taxes. I have no property, stocks, bonds, or interest bearing accounts, nor do I qualify for any special deductions or credits. I don't ever have to pay any tax, nor do I ever qualify for any refund, but despite this fact, I still have to file a State tax form every year because I pay Federal taxes. If this $10 fee gets passed, I'm simply going to stop filing State tax returns. What are they going to do, arrest me? For not filing paperwork for taxes I neither owe or am owed?
This guy has got to go...and soon.
