Hey, what do you know, looks like someone is paying attention to Jim Black’s real estate records. But tax value is just a small slice of the big issue, which involves using real estate transactions to cut politicians in on tens of thousands of dollars at a pop.
That’s how you buy influence. That Black owes back property taxes shouldn’t be a surprise. He’ll have to pay it if Black ever wants to sell the property to help raise the $1 million needed to pay his state fine. But $7200 in back taxes is a drop in the bucket.
