September 18, 2014

How badly did Democrat candidate Aaron Woolf mismanage his business?

Pretty badly. To the tune of $130,000 in unpaid taxes.

From 2005 to 2007, Aaron Woolf’s “craft foods store,” Urban Rustic, owed the state $131,743.93 in back taxes, interest, and penalties, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

In January 2008, the New York State Commissioner of Taxation and Finance served a warrant to Woolf and Urban Rustic. They settled the outstanding debts a year later.

From the Free Beacon:

A business owned by a Democratic House candidate who frequently touts his private sector experience was hit with a tax warrant in 2008 for a failure to pay more than a hundred thousand dollars in New York state taxes.

The warrant reveals that Urban Rustic, a Brooklyn “craft foods store” owned by congressional candidate Aaron Woolf, owed the state $131,734.93 in back taxes, penalties, and interest from 2005 to 2007.

The office of the state’s Commissioner of Taxation and Finance served the warrant in January 2008. The firm settled the debts more than a year later.
