Initially, it appeared that the back taxes were limited to one state (California) and as a result of a minor clerical error. Now, with Franken's decision to pay back taxes in 17 states, it appears it is more widespread.
No! Really?!?!
To project a more senatorial air, Franken is trying hard to watch what he says, and his staff has placed him in a kind of protective custody: journalists are not allowed to ride along, as is standard campaign practice, lest they overhear and report an undignified remark.
And in an election cycle where the slowing economy is a major part of the Democratic message, it never is good to have a candidate who didn't pay back taxes -- even if it was an accidental oversight. There's little doubt that this will be a major part of the Republican messaging when the race starts heating up.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Ya think?
Oh, too funny by far.
