Pete Stark Caught Snorting Illegal Tax Break
California Congressman Pete Stark fights the giggles
after eating a plate of tax-scam brownies.
Back in the 70's the only guy on Capitol Hill with better coke than Charlie Wilson was Pete Stark. While he may have cleaned up his act, he still needs a sponsor to call when he begins jonesing for an illegal tax credit.
March 19 (Bloomberg) -- A senior member of the U.S. House’s tax-writing Ways and Means Committee from California has been taking advantage of a tax break for a home in Maryland that he claims as his principal residence.
Representative Pete Stark, the second-ranking Democrat on the Ways and Means panel, in 2007 and 2008 saved a total of $3,853 in state and Anne Arundel County taxes on a Maryland waterfront home that he claims as his primary residence, according to Maryland tax disclosures.
As the ObamaFest Intern likes to point out, saving four grand must have warmed Mr. Stark's heart, making him nostalgic for the days when that kind of scratch could buy a public servant half a kilo of high society.
