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...

And of course she will raise taxes for everyone except herself.
Why did CNN report?
I just looked up her age - she’s 53. How does she possibly think she’d qualify as a senior?
Typical Democrat...
AlsoBrooks is a crooked Democrat tax cheat
A member of the Democratic Party, she was elected county executive of Prince George’s County, Maryland, in 2018 after serving two terms as state’s attorney for the county.
“ AlsoBrooks is a crooked Democrat tax cheat.”
That might be true, but I think all those Dims will still vote for her.
Hogan can pull off an upset here, but there are many FReepers who hope he loses. True, he is a RINO, but he counts as an R when it comes to determining control of the Senate.
I live in Maryland and voted for hogan. He did nothing but kick us in the teeth for years then this jerk dares to ask us to vote for him?
Sadly, I probably will

It is not a senior tax credit, it is a homestead tax credit for one’s primary residence. Tax credits are just a way to shift taxing from one group to another. There primary goal is to shift property taxes from homeowners to business, renters, vacation properties, etc.

Redundant
I’m glad you’re voting for Hogan. You’re putting your country ahead of your personal feelings. Thank you!
It seems there is a rash of democrat women who have ethicial problems.
She has to be elected. Hogan must be erased permanently and this would do it.
If you’re in Maryland, vote for her. Under no circumstances Hogan.
At $36T debt, there are no policies. There is only backstabbing Swamp Filth and that’s him.
It's the same thing with Joe Manchin in West Virginia. He was the only Democrat to confirm Brett Kavanaugh.
Hogan was nothing to write home about, but compared to his predecessor, Martoon O’Malady, he was like a breath of fresh air. Hogan is RINO maximus but O’Malady was a pompous tax and spend ass. In MD you don’t have to be very good to be better than the Dimocrats.
Hogan is a viper and Trump hater. He will be a PITA if elected.
Schumer gave permission to Manchin to vote for Kavanaugh because his vote wasn’t needed. Kav had the votes without Manchin.
Probably the biggest lie people repeat here is that a RINO is no better than Democrat.
It simply isn’t true. As big a snake as Mitch McConnel is, he is better than Schumer

I live in Maryland also and most definitely WILL BE VOTING FOR HOGAN. And conservative in Maryland who does not vote for him is being stupid, IMHO. That would be a victory for the ‘RATS!
