Earlier this week CQ broke the story that Ways and Means Chairman Charles B. Rangel, D-N.Y., had amended his 2007 financial disclosure forms to show assets of as much as double the $516,015 to $1,316,000 he had reported, along with previously unrevealed income of between $38,912 and $116,800 (disclosure forms require ranges, not exact figures).
The assets included land in southern New Jersey.
The New York Post's Charlie Hurt and Perry Chiarmonte report today that Rangel didn't pay taxes on that property.
That can only add to the woes of a lawmaker who is already being investigated for failing to pay taxes on property in the Dominican Republic, for maintaining multiple rent-controlled apartments in New York City and for questions about his use of official letterhead in building support for an education center named for him at the City College of New York.
