Mayor Can’t Keep Track of All His Wheelings & Dealings

Hey, so remember when John Street tried to get in property tax delinquents? And then he accidentally — whoops! — was delinquent on property taxes himself? Well, how’d that happen?

Good luck getting an answer from the mayor, he has no idea!

At issue are tax bills for two of Mayor Street’s properties that had not been paid since 2003. Street paid the nearly $5,000 bill only after being told of the matter by a reporter last week. In his first public comments on this, Street said there’s confusion over the bills, and said he won’t try to straighten it out in the media:

“That’s personal, and I’m not going to get into how I pay my bills. Legitimate taxes weren’t paid on time, and when I found out, I paid them. And I think that’s good enough.”

Street also overpaid on some other bills, but he’s a millionaire so it doesn’t really matter. Ha ha, John Street is a millionaire! What are you going to tell me next, state legislators make six figures? Oh, shit.

    As Mark B. Cohen once pointed out on Phillyblog.com, the Philly Democrats invented highways and airports and other wonderful things. We’ll keep electing them forever because they put such wonderful things in the city.
