Sen. John Edwards, North Carolina Democrat and 2004 presidential hopeful, is four months delinquent in paying the property taxes on his Georgetown mansion and owes the cash-strapped District more than $11,000, city records show.

Mr. Edwards is worth somewhere between $12 million and $30 million after a successful career as a personal injury lawyer, according to his financial disclosure forms. He bought the eight-bedroom, 6,672-square-foot home in the tony neighborhood for $3.8 million in September.

Typical RAT hypocrite and slimeball...not only will he lose in the RAT primaries he'll also lose his Senate seat as well.

He'd be forced to go back to ambulance chasing.

"That did not include the dozens of times the Edwardses paid months past the due dates on their Raleigh tax bills but were not assessed late penalties."

That stinks.

Reminds me the late Harold Washington Mayor of Chicago.
When a Congressman he "forgot" to pay his income taxes.
Guess when the late mayors birthday was?
Bingo.

There seems to be a discrepancy here....

As of 3:30 p.m. yesterday, Mr. Edwards owed $11,092.46 with interest and penalties, according to the city's tax collection office.

The senator and his wife, Elizabeth, "had not received a bill. As soon as they received one, they paid it," the statement says.

IIRC, ex Mayor Dinkins of NY had some sort of tax problem too.

Of course, these guys get away with stuff that would cost us peons jailtime or hugh fines.
