Senate candidate Angela Alsobrooks (D) will pay back taxes after improperly claiming homestead and senior property tax credits for homes in D.C. and Prince George’s County.
Her campaign said Alsobrooks, who is running for an open Senate seat in Maryland and is currently the chief executive of Prince George’s County, was not aware of the errors. The improperly applied tax credits were first reported by CNN and confirmed by the Alsobrooks campaign.
It is not clear how much money Alsobrooks owes the District or Prince George’s, but in letters to both jurisdictions, her lawyer said Alsobrooks intends to pay any taxes that should have been applied to the properties when they were not her primary residence.
Alsobrooks, a Democrat, is running against former Republican governor Larry Hogan. The unusually competitive race in deep blue Maryland is one of a few Senate contests that will help determine control of the chamber.
*** Alsobrooks owns two homes in Prince George’s County. She purchased an Upper Marlboro townhouse in 2005, where she lived for about a decade. An application for a homestead exemption for that property was approved in May 2008, according to records maintained by the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation.
Homestead tax breaks are restricted to homes that serve as the owner’s primary residence. But in 2015, Alsobrooks moved into a new home and began renting out the Upper Marlboro townhouse. However, she did not transfer the homestead tax credit to her new primary residence.
According to her campaign, the error resulted in Alsobrooks paying more taxes to the county than she would have if the homestead credit had been properly applied to her new home.
Alsobrooks also owned a home in Washington, D.C., that improperly received tax credits for more than a decade...

That would be a victory for the ‘RATS!
Maybe so, but Hogan is no victory for Conservatives, neither.
Imagine you have just taken a long walk in the woods—and you have nowhere to sit.
Then you see a porcupine named Hogan.
Do you sit on it or just keep on stumbling until you collapse?
Decisions, decisions.
Lol.

It would be a defeat for the DemocRATS… that’s contributing to our efforts.
She needs to be held to account for this.
Couldn't have said it better!
DEMOCRAT TAX CHEAT!!! TYPICAL!! Is she Black like Al Sharpton, who didn’t have to pay his back taxes..... PRIVILEGED!
BINGO!!!! PURITY for some Freepers is ALL they consider when voting!! We need CONTROL of the SENATE to STOP this CRAP!!
You are a DEMOCRAT! Or a very SHALLOW voter!!
Reminds me of Angela Rayner.
BTW, anyone else familiar with how NYS’s STAR Program works wondering how many of our pols are cheating on their property taxes...
Her campaign said Alsobrooks, who is running for an open Senate seat in Maryland and is currently the chief executive of Prince George’s County, was not aware of the errors.
Here's the real kicker... in 2003 Alsobrooks was appointed the executive director of the county revenue authority for the country where she cheated on her property taxes.
Don't tell me that she "wasn't aware of the errors," she headed the group that looks out for those errors!
