While Tim Mahoney has applied for a Florida tax break on his Florida ‘home,’ for the past two years, he actually registers to vote at another address: a horse barn.
See the Palm Beach Post article here and a portion of the Roll Call article below.
MAHONEY SUED FOR RENT (FL-16) Roll Call, September 18, 2008:
“According to court documents obtained by Roll Call, millionaire Rep. Tim Mahoney (D-Fla.) wound up before a Washington, D.C., judge last year for bouncing a rent check on his Capitol Hill apartment, while Florida property records show that the freshman lawmaker’s South Florida district residence is a horse barn.
Court documents allege that Mahoney, an investment banker whose financial disclosure forms show he is worth at least $3.5 million, did not pay $1,500 in July 2007 for rent on his Capitol Hill apartment at 610 Third St. SE. Friedman Real Estate, which filed the complaint on July 12, 2007, also sought $400 in late charges and a $50‘bounced check fee.' Court papers also show that the District government and postal service repeatedly tried to deliver court papers to the lawmaker’s residence near Garfield Park. Court notices addressed to Mahoney’s apartment were stamped ‘return to sender ... vacant’ by the U.S. Postal Service.”
NOTE: This image is not really Tim Mahoney's horse barn. We don't know what it looks like. We wonder if he does either.
