Tax evading tax hiker officially running in NY-19

Brooklyn resident Zephyr Teachout already has some explaining to do in her recently announced campaign for Congress in NY-19.  Back during her failed 2014 gubernatorial campaign, Teachout called for $14 billion in higher taxes, which is quite hypocritical given her own questionable tax history.  

 According to The New York Daily News, “Teachout listed Vermont as her address in official paperwork as recently as 2013, avoided paying state and city sales taxes on a car she bought in New York, listed Vermont as her home on tax forms when she joined the faculty of Fordham University Law School in 2009, and reported to tax authorities that she lived in New York for zero months in 2009.”

Oh my. We couldn’t be more thrilled that the Democrats have settled on this tax-happy Brooklyn resident with a shady tax history to run in a moderate Hudson Valley district (voter card listed after the quote).

 NRCC Comment:  “Zephyr Teachout is a Brooklyn liberal who ensures that this moderate Hudson Valley district will remain in Republican control.  Zephyr Teachout should prepare to explain early and often why she called for billions of dollars in higher taxes for others when she has a questionable tax history of her own.” –NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack
