The records of the tax collector’s office (as of 9/14/2012) report that Congressman Chris Murphy’s Election Headquarters is delinquent on personal property taxes owed to the city of New Britain. According to the records, “Christopher Murphy Election Headquarters” owed a payment of $58.94 for personal property located at 81 West Main Street. The payment would have been due on July 1st, and has now accrued interest of $2.64, for a total due of $61.58—including the interest due through the end of September.
As, Linda would say, "he wants the voters to promote him."

It is not the amount of the money. It is the frequency of these transgressions which are considerable. They have formed a pattern.
ReplyDeleteAll of this combined with the fact that Chris Murphy is "Nancy Pelosi in pants" make me wonder why any intelligent person would vote for him.
The last post makes a valid point. In addition to Murphy being 'Pelosi in Pants" this is at least the 6th or 7th bill he didn't pay, and no doubt he will explain it away as not being a big deal or an oversight.
ReplyDeleteI guess nobody tipped him off to Frank Smith's blog.
ReplyDeleteThey should be exempt from paying taxes. What is all the fuss? What pattern are you talking about? So he forgot to pay his taxes, it not like they will go to anything good. That is just less money the city will have to waste. He is helping the city this way.

Isn't it amazing that the local media doesn't find these people being tax deadbeats as a newsworthy item. Oh, that's right, they are on the list too!
ReplyDeleteI guess nobody told the Courant about Frank Smith's blog either as they missed one:
ReplyDelete"Last week, Connecticut voters learned that U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy was nearly four months late in paying a property tax bill in 2005 and, according to records, was late seven times from 1998 to 2005 in paying car taxes to the town of Southington."
Two observations of fact:
ReplyDelete81 West Main Street is not owned by Murphy but rather was rented by the campaign.
And, it is not is headquarters. Their headquarters are on Bassett Street. The 81 West Main Street office has been vacant since March 2011 right after Terry Gerratana used the space to shellac Tim Stewart in the state senate race.

Rep. Murphy The Tax Collector for the City of New Britain is looking for the payment for your equipment and or inventory taxes that was charged to you at that location. Your argument is not with me but with the NB Tax collector.
You have a comment posted whereby the person claims you are wrong about Murphy because he never owned that building, and it was Gerratana's office after Murphy's when she ran against Stewart. Obviously this person doesn't understand municipal taxation, or maybe even doesn't pay taxes, because the taxes in question are for personal property of Murphy's campaign office--not the building, and since the election was in 2010, (in November) the equipment was still on the grand list after October 1 of 2010, so anything on the grand list after October 1 2010, through October 1, 2011 would be due and payable July 1 of 2012 (the fact that taxation runs 8 months behind confuses most people). The only way Murphy's campaign would not owe taxes on the personal property would be if he closed the office or moved it out of town prior to October 1 2010--which we know he didn't do because the election was more than a month after the grand list came out, so anything that was there after October 1, 2010 would be on the tax rolls for the Oct 2010-through October 2011 tax year and would have been due and payable July 1, 2012. If he closed the office sometime in November 2010, then the taxes would have been prorated only for the period of time that he could prove to the New Britain assessor that it was present in New Britain, but that is up to him to prove to the assessor when he fills out the annual list of equipment that is provided to the assessor by each business owner in town.
ReplyDeleteThis person's comments (if they are accurate) raise two additional questions: He references a campaign office of Murphy's on Bassett Street, so where are the personal property taxes for the equipment at that location, then he also reports that Gerratana rented the space after Murphy moved out, so where are the personal property taxes for the Gerratana campaign regarding their office furnishings and equipment?

Frank:
ReplyDeleteThe last three comments on this issue as of 7:34 A.M. were interesting.
You ought to send your intro to this bog to Chris Powell of the JI (Liberal butt boy for Murphy who hates McMahon). Read his column today in the Herald.
What a tangled web we weave:

So much for it not being his office!
Chris: Stop blaming the Senator, pay the tax bill you owe.
ReplyDeleteTo the commenter about Stewart being shellacked by Gerratana? Seriously? In a special election where she won by 300 votes? I only wished he ran against her this time as the shoe would certainly have been on the other foot! As dems continue to lie about their republican opponents it will come back to bite them!
ReplyDeleteFind your checkbook yet Mr. Congressman, or are you waiting for Linda to issue a TV ad to embarrass you into paying your taxes?
ReplyDeleteYou actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to
ReplyDeletebe really something that I think I would never understand.
It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I'm looking forward for your next post, I'll try
to get the hang of it!
