Lawmaker Paid Property Taxes With Campaign Funds
Rep. Tom Reed (R-N.Y.) paid off more than $4,200 in property taxes with campaign funds.
Just ten days after Reed had to apologize for being late on his property taxes 38 times, his campaign finance reports show that he paid off those taxes early last year using funds from his campaign account.
The account paid more than $4,200 to the Steuben County Treasuer for a property tax bill in April, 2012, according to campaign finance reports filed by Reed. He re-paid the money to his campaign in May.
Reed attributed the incident to a “clerical error.”
