It turns out that Sen. Claire McCaskill owes nearly $300,000 in county personal property taxes on the family’s private plane that has plunged her into political hot water over the past two weeks.
In a conference call with reporters, the Missouri Democrat said that she intends to pay the back taxes to St. Louis County immediately. She said that under Missouri law, plane owners are required to pay the taxes to the county where they house the aircraft, of which she was unaware.

I see that she is one of those fighting for the “little people”.
lol
Seems Claire is forgetting all kinds of things these days.
“She said that under Missouri law, plane owners are required to pay the taxes to the county where they house the aircraft, of which she was unaware”
Don’t bother me with pesky details about where my plane is.
Illegal use of campaign cash? Or And we pay them too much.
How can one ignore owing 300,000 dollars in taxes?
NO DEMOCRAT PAYS THEIR TAXES!!!
The ole girl either owns a really big airplane or hasn’t paid the taxes for quite some time. 300 grand is a tidy sum..... Wonder if the scumbag skerry has paid the taxes on his boat yet? What is wrong with the American people electing people like this?
Was she up for election in 10 or 08? I doubt a three hundred grand tax bill on a plane piles up overnight.
She’s up again in ‘12..which means I think she was last elected in ‘06.
Tax dodger = democrat
That must be one heck of an airplane.

Disingenuous implication.

Tax is what da little peoples pay to have us rule dem.
Must have been getting tax advice from John Kerry, "Yacht, Plane, what's the difference? "
The little people don't know about such things.
Taxes are for the “little” people.
Tell her to resign.
“Tell her to resign.”
Were she a republican, she would have been forced out a’ready!
I have ZERO faith in this government.
And where the hell are The Republicans asking for her hide?
