FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Records show that Kentucky’s Republican governor is late paying his 2016 property taxes on his Louisville home.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office website shows Gov. Matt Bevin owes $11,080 on his Barberry Lane home in Louisville. That includes a 10 percent penalty because it wasn’t paid by Jan. 31. The original tax bill was due Dec. 31. It increased by 5 percent in January and 10 percent on Feb. 1.
Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office Chief Financial Officer Teri Geraghty noted the website’s records are one day behind.
A governor’s office spokeswoman didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Democrats criticized Bevin for late tax payments during his campaign. At the time, Bevin noted he had paid in full, even if he paid late.
The news was first reported by WDRB-TV.

OOhhh . doGG … I have lived too long …
Anybody remember when something like this was a big deal ? ? —
Oh, I’m sure it was just an innocent oversight that got lost in all that paper shuffling and busy work Bevin does. After all, he’s been way too busy trying to figure out how to dismantle and destroy Kynect for some time now, hasn’t he?..Nothing says success to these GOP Governors like making people in their states suffer, get sick and die quicker without having any means for affordable healthcare.
I’m surprised Trump hasn’t brought him on board to dismantle the whole enchilada.
