NY Dem Candidate Who Criticized Trump Tax Loopholes, Once Fined For Not Paying Her Own Taxes

WJ: A Democrat running for Congress in upstate New York who has criticized President Donald Trump’s tax cuts for leaving loopholes for the wealthy was penalized in 2013 for failing to pay her taxes, according to documents obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Dana Balter, who is seeking to unseat Republican incumbent Rep. John Katko of Syracuse in November’s midterm elections, was issued a tax lien by the state of Florida in January 2013 for failing to pay $1,832 in sales taxes due by her business, Dana Balter Designs.

Public records indicate that Balter lived in Florida prior to relocating to upstate New York.

Balter later paid her taxes according to a Florida Department of Revenue document filed in March 2013— two months after the state issued the lien.

Balter’s campaign platform calls for closing tax loopholes to ensure that the wealthy pay their fair share, and she’s been highly critical of the 2017 Republican tax bill on the campaign trail.  read more
