Fifteen days after Meck Deck readers were told the CMS board member and county commission Vilma Leake owed property taxes, the Uptown paper of record jumps the story.
Clip-n-save bit:
She said she doesn’t understand why people are prying into her private business and said she hopes those who are criticizing her have paid their taxes.
“I’ve been paying my taxes,” Leake said. “I don’t have a problem paying my taxes.”
See, once upon a time the Uptown paper pledged to conduct background checks on all local candidates for office. Except it didn’t. And does not, unless pushed. Or the candidate opposes the paper’s agenda.
