    Records: Palin cabins not noted in tax assessments

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100205/ap_ ... erty_taxes

    By RACHEL D'ORO, Associated Press Writer Rachel D'oro, Associated Press Writer – 1 hr 27 mins ago
    ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Records show that Sarah Palin hasn't paid any property taxes on cabins that have been built on two backcountry plots partially owned by the former Alaska governor.

    There are no tax assessments for the two-story, house-sized cabins, a workshop and a sauna spotted Thursday in an aerial survey. Property taxes totaling $156.13 were paid on the land in 2009 — but that bill did not include anything for the structures because the local assessor didn't know about the new construction nearly 100 miles north of Anchorage.

    The issue has attracted the attention of local tax officials who conducted the scheduled aerial survey of properties in the area on Thursday. The area is accessible only by floatplane, snowmobile or four-wheeler.

    Dave Dunivan, the assessor for the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, said such a survey had not been done there in five years, before construction started on the cabins.

    Palin's attorney, Thomas Van Flein, said it is not the responsibility of property owners to report structures that go up on their land.

    "It is the borough's job," he said in an e-mail. "The property taxes on this parcel are fully paid and have never been delinquent."

    Dunivan, however, said owners are required by state law to report any omissions or errors in their tax assessments. Often, the borough learns of new structures in remote areas when neighbors report them. Dunivan said no one has called the borough on the Palin lots, among many in the region to add structures, the flyover survey found.

    "Typically, if there are errors, we hear from owners," he said. "If there are omissions, we don't. Every once in a while we do have someone call us about omissions, but not often."

    The properties are located along Safari Lake — an undeveloped area located near Denali State Park — and owned by Palin, her husband Todd and a family friend, Scott Richter. According to borough records, the tax assessments are sent to Richter's post office box in Big Lake.

    There is no phone listing in Alaska for Richter and he could not be reached Thursday.

    The matter first appeared Wednesday on an Alaska political blog site, Mudflats, which has been critical of Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate. Palin resigned as governor last summer and has since written a best-selling memoir. She signed on as a Fox News commentator last month.

    "This is another blatant attempt to manufacture a story about the Palins following more defamatory swipes," Palin's spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton said in an e-mail to The Associated Press.

    Dunivan said a photo of a large cabin posted on the Mudflats site — and later reported on the Huffington Post Web site — is one of the structures spotted in the flyover.

    Van Flein said work is still being done on the cabins, but both are usable. He said construction began on one of the cabins in 2006, but he didn't know when construction started on the second one.

    The two parcels of land, separated by one lot, total 25 acres and had a combined value of $30,000 in 2007 through 2009, according to assessment records. Dunivan said the data collected in Thursday's survey will be calculated into 2010 assessment notices being mailed out at the end of the month.

    It's too soon to estimate how much the structures will increase the taxes due, Dunivan said.

    The cabins are the size of large homes rather than the average backcountry cabin, but square footage estimates were not immediately available.

    Local real estate broker, Claus Steigler, said most cabins in the area are closer to the 500-square-foot range. Because they are in a hard to reach area, they generally sell for only $40,000 to $60,000, including the land.

    One large log cabin reachable by road is listed at $229,000, but it's still on the market after two years, Steigler said.



    this whole thing is shady...every year i get a new property tax disclosure form i have to fill out, any new car, motor home, boat, farm animal, home, property, or building i own on january 1 of every year has to be reported...evidently palin can't be bothered with this...and if she was a responsible citizen she would have cleared it with the county before she even began the construction. in my city you can't build anything on your property without permission.

    Tax cheat ? :roll: Did you ever think that maybe they might be waiting unti the construction was finished before they submitted anything. Who knows... Did you ever think maybe you might want to hear the Palin's side of the story.Of course not. Why the hell would you want to do that ?


    Meanwhile......Tim Gietner keeps enjoying his cushy office....and people are mad about this??? :crazy:

    Why hasn't Palin complained over Republicans' use of the word 'retarded'?
    Aman Batheja - Fort Worth Star-Telegram

    FORT WORTH — The flap between Sarah Palin and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel over his use of the word "retarded" has spilled over into the Texas governor's race.

    Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison's campaign has not been shy in recent days about letting media outlets know that Gov. Rick Perry's political consultant, David Carney, repeatedly used the word "retarded" in a conference call with Dallas television station KERA in advance of last month's television debate.

    The incident, which the Perry campaign has confirmed, didn't get much attention.

    But with Palin scheduled to campaign for Perry at a Houston-area rally on Sunday, news outlets are devoting time and energy to whether Palin is only offended when Democrats use the word inappropriately.

    "It was an unfortunate choice of words and the Governor is extremely disappointed," campaign spokesman Mark Miner said.

    Politico reported Thursday that rocker Ted Nugent has also used the word "retarded" in a way some might find offensive. Nugent is scheduled to play the national anthem at Sunday's Perry/Palin event.

    Don't you think you're comparing apples with oranges ? But good god man who cares ?? I wouldn't support Palin anyway,but Im not a Palin Hater either. Shouldn't we be more worried about other things ?

    hahaha Ted Nugent is playing the anthem at their event?

    my thoughts?

    Rahm Emanuel is jerk. but i thought that before this anyway.
    Ted Nugent is a douchebag pussy. nothing new there.
    Sarah Palin does not like Rahm emanuel using the word retarded, but is ok with anyone else using it as long as they are not affiliated with the Dems in anyway.

    hypocrital. to the max.

    same shit, different day.

    Ted "Scumbag of the Earth" Nugent is a piece of shit. Quick story on that piece of trash. Some friends of mine dragged me to one of his concerts. I told them I would rather skin a wild boar before listening to his garbage music but they did a good job of convincining me and I went reluctantly.

    About three quarters of the way through that madness of that show he hangs out on some wire yelling down to the crowd. At the time I got separated from my friends who were all female. He yells down to the crowd to rape her, rape her, at first I didn't catch what he was saying. However, the crowd started going beserk and started to rip off the women's tops and this fool was encouraging them. Then one of them was my friend, I went balistic and fought my way over to her beating back these idiots grabbed her, covered her and my other friends not before we left I looked up and gave TN a double finger to that piece of shit. :evil:

    If I ran into him at anytime I would've killed that guy cause back then in my youth I didn't think twice when you attack my friends like that. Even before this incident I never had much respect for this scum but it went to another level after what he did at this show.

    I wonder if these Tea Party people really know what this guy is really like or are they on the same level with this piece of scum, he's one evil dude. :evil:

    Peace

    I agree, every Presidential is basically a fraud. It can be influenced who will win if not preordained and whomever wins it it controlled what he can change and what he or she can implement. Now even with more and more corporate influence so yes we the people ARE walking with our eyes closed and head in the clouds. Nothing will change with the 2 sides with their given agendas, maybe what we need is a civil war to bring this country back together.

    Palin's a fu-kin hypocrite, who parades her grandson around like a symbol of retardation (not a child with a disability) just to gather donations for her own personal benefit and for her own political agenda.

    Trig is Palin's own son, not her grandson! You are discussing two different babies here. Her little son has Down Syndrome.

    Palin's grandson is the 'bastard' born to her teenage daughter.


    This morning, I heard someone refer to Palin as "Caribou Barbie." I nearly laughed.

    Is Palin ever going to take questions that have not been screened? Ever?

    Fuck this lady, she has the intelligence of a 12 year old and for the person here who wants the teabaggers to be taken seriously, maybe you shouldn't have someone with the intellignce of a high schooler as the keynote speaker of your FIRST convention.

    so you are unconcerned about the governor of one of the 50 states evading property tax?? giving her the benefit of the doubt she should have at least known that after living in alaska her whole life she has to disclose any property or buildings she has as taxable possessions... if she wants to be in politics the LEAST she can do is set some sort of a good example for people in her state to follow...if not, whatever the penalty is, fine her or send her to jail and make her endure what any of the rest of us would have to endure...

    Nah, the fact that she is dumb as a fucking board outweighs the fact that she is marginally attractive.

    If this had happens 50 years ago, the uproar would have been about the word "fucking" and no one would have given a darn tootin' about the use of the word "retarded".

    Why isn't the word "moron" offensive? Morons are born that way too, you know! They can't help but be morons, but they can understand what the word means! What retarded person is capable of understanding what Rahm Emmanuel meant in the context that he said it? Apparently half of America can't understand it!!

    What I find odd about Palin or should I say is retarded (meaning backward thinking) is she ACTUALLY wants Rham fired over this. FIRED over a word are you kidding and her constituents use the word unabashed and she doesn't care to call them out. If it hurt you that much lady well call out your friends too and especially IF you've never used it to call your own son.

    Be consistent lady, be consistent.

    speaking of moron...did anyone catch her speech tonight?? i can't believe they gave her $100,000 for 43 minutes of THAT!! i listened to her piss and moan and offer no solutions that have not already been mentioned..and how many times did she mention reagan or say the word "patriot"???

    she complained about the treatment of the underpants bomber when the government followed the policies of the bush administration...she wants tax cuts for small businesses but it is the gop that is blocking that...and she played the victim card by lashing out at those that talked about her family, well hello, if she had not shamelessly rolled them out onto the stage and held them up as the paragon of virtue and without flaw then none of that would have ever happened...

    really sarah, if it was as easy as you say, things would have been perfect this time last year... :roll: :lol:

    during the q &a someone asked her what the "palin plan" is and she said "support those that understand the foundation of our country and free marlet principles", and said "foreign policy should be based on reagan's beliefs, we win they lose" :roll:

    first call that cspan took after the tea party convention finished said he thinks that she will be the 2012 candidate and no one else can do it...and he said the reagan is smiling right now...i'm pretty damn sure that reagan is puking right now...i just hope nancy didn't see that


    i was watching 'the west wing' today and martin sheen's president bartlett was asked about his republican opponent 'governor ritchie' who was portrayed as a bush-like person and described him as...

    ". . . I think we might be talking about a .22 caliber mind in a .357 magnum world. . . ."

    i agree with your post norm, but i do think she will be the candidate in '12. she is going to run and IMO, if that was not her ambition, why would she have said all that she said tonight??

    I have not seen the speech but I hear it was pretty fucking scary. She cannot be the 2012 candidate for the GOP, she is a fucking moron.

    If people can actually relate to this dipshit, America is in a bad place. Not having an ounce of an education is not something to be celebrated.

    Didn't say I was unconcerned. Just find it odd that when you compare the two (on this site) Sarah gets more attention then Gietner. Clearly I am more concerned about a tax cheat in Washington working for the treasury department than I am about about an ex Alaskan Gov. that writes books now and works for Fox news. So how come you care about Sarah cheating on taxes more than Gietner. Because i've brought Gietner up before and there wasn't much people had to say about it.

    tax cheats are tax cheats. i despise both, yet geithner is not brainwashing an entire section of the population into voting for him, nor is he on a nationwide book tour to line his own pockets....to me palin's ambition for opportunism and personal gain is worse than geithner's...but that's just me...

    exactly....the tea baggers are just GOP with extra caffeine...more power to them...they are just further splintering their own party

    I thought it was really scary how Palin mentioned that it was time that we "turned everything over to our creator" or something similar....that's a scary way to run the country.

    Damn you beat me to it, she even had a cross out mistake written on her hand. They would want to nominate her to run for president they're in trouble if that's the case. It's no wonder they had people the likes of Ted Nugent play at their teabagger party convention that hideous retch.

    What a joke, its comical and scary that these people take her seriously. Its not even like she was talking policy and she couldn't remember, it was talking points.

    Fuck this lady, she has the intelligence of a 12 year old and for the person here who wants the teabaggers to be taken seriously, maybe you shouldn't have someone with the intellignce of a high schooler as the keynote speaker of your FIRST convention.

    I think some of ya'll are just jealous that conservative women are much prettier than liberal women. ;)

    Nah, the fact that she is dumb as a fucking board outweighs the fact that she is marginally attractive.

    this chick fascinates me...

    On Chief-of-Staff Rahm Emanuel, she said his comments calling liberal groups "f-ing retards" was "indecent and insensitive" and cause for his dismissal.

    But the former governor went to great and sometimes awkward lengths to insist that when conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh used the same exact term to describe the same exact group, it was simply in the role of political humorist.

    "They are kooks, so I agree with Rush Limbaugh," she said, when read a quote of Limbaugh calling liberal groups "retards." "Rush Limbaugh was using satire ... . I didn't hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with 'f-ing retards,' and we did know that Rahm Emanuel, as has been reported, did say that. There is a big difference there."

    :lol::lol::lol:

    "Energy", "Budget cuts" (then crossed out budget, rewrote "Tax cuts"), "Lift American Spirits"

    She needs crib notes to answer the question, "What would you do as President?" :shock:

    lol that is funny...she would have been better off is she just wrote those things on the big blue index cards that dave letterman uses and she could have read it and thrown it behind her with the glass breaking sound effects like dave so famously does

    I have to say, of all the threads I've started, I wish this one would die. (but of course should go on if it must...)

    Not because Palin doesn't deserve to be talked about, but because I absolutely the loathe the word "retard(ed)". I agree that Palin's full of hypocrisy, but I think she could do a whole lot better for her son, and just cease the whole war she has with certain people using it, based on their political party. (shows where her priorities are).

    And that goes for both sides. What a bunch of disrespectable assholes we have elected to think it's OK to use that word. Grow the Hell up!!
