City Council Candidate Brint Ryan’s Taxes, Ctd.

Don’t know if you saw these reports late Friday, Tim, but it turns out that Ann Margolin was spinning a half-truth. Ryan did have a lien put against his house as he argued with the IRS over the bill. He also immediately paid the full amount, and THEN was refunded nearly three-quarters of the bill, since the IRS agreed with him. Oh, and turns out Margolin’s husband’s businesses have outstanding liens against them for unpaid taxes. The charge falls somewhere between politics as usual and sleazy, depending on your tolerance for such things. I lean toward the latter.
