Missouri Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill admitted Monday that she had failed to pay about $287,000 in back taxes and will sell a private plane that has created considerable controversy as she prepares to run for a second term in 2012.
“I have convinced my husband to sell the damn plane,” McCaskill told reporters on a conference call Monday afternoon. “I will not be setting foot on the plane ever again.”
McCaskill and her husband, Joe Shepard, co-own the eight-seat, two-engine plane with other investors. They bought it in July of 2006 through Sunset Cove Associates, an LLC her husband incorporated in 2002.
The tax revelations are the only the latest problem for McCaskill involving the plane, however.

‘RATS don’t pay taxes. Taxes are meant for conservatives only.

To have that kind of tax burden requires a very lavish lifestyle. The hypocrisy is bewildering.

She registers very high on the Helen Thomas scale of ugliness (both inside and out).

FReepers are slipping. This is about the fifth thread on McCaskill tonight I have clicked on about unpaid taxes on a private plane and no one has posted a picture of her plane.
I’m sure if she didn’t have a D by her name the picture of her plane would be all over the net. lol!
Everyone knows how the MSM protects the D’s.

Nobody was a bigger supporter of Obama during the ‘08 Election than Claire McCaskill. I was beginning to think she was in love with Prez dude. She acted like a teenaged girl around him. The people of Missouri will not forget that she was, and is, one of Zero’s biggest boosters. He is NOT popular in MO.

“I will not be setting foot on the plane ever again.” Has she a newer private plane now? Or just freeloading with lobbyists?
