Inquiring minds wanted to know....what's the dealio? What are the facts?
Well, folks, I thought we had put this one to bed, but if Mr. Stackhouse wants to continue to deny the facts, then the facts will continue to rear their ugly heads.
Thanks to "Committed Community Member", SP-EYE is now in receipt of incontrovertible data obtained directly from the Dane County Treasurer's office. First let's recap:
- Mr. Stackhouse was not in arrears just for this past year. He was in arrears for the total taxes due for the past three tax years.
- Do the math: the tax bill, with interest and penalties was over $14,000. Stackhouse doesn't own mansion. The overdue taxes were certainly more than one year.
- Stackhouse paid the total amount due --arguably in response to concerns that these facts would be picked up by local media outlets--in two installments in July 2008.
Now for the rest of the story.
As indicated previously, SP-EYE has received copies of 8 separate mailings made to Mr. Stackhouse alerting him that his taxes were in arrears. The Dane County Treasurer routinely mails delinquent tax reminders showing the total amount due at least quarterly. Copies of all these mailings are retained. The mailing address matches Mr. Stackhouse's residence. Maybe ONE or TWO of these communiques could have been "lost", but EIGHT? And that's just the statements for which copies are retained. Several other reminders are mailed out for which copies are not retained.
Mr. Stackhouse...haven't we had enough of the truth being stretched in the barrage of presidential advertisements? Please...from here on out, accept responsibility for your personal transgressions. No more excuses. SP-EYE properly reported when you resolved the issue. The issue was closed until you re-opened it with your untrue claims.
Thanks very much to Committed Community Member", for the assist on this play.
