Legislators not paying their taxes: Why the list doesn't have names

This story by Jim Tharpe deals with a list of 19 state legislators who are behind on their taxes, according to the Georgia Department of Revenue.

But there are no names on the public version of that list due to privacy laws, according to DOR spokesman Charles Willey, whom I spoke to this morning. The list simply notes whether they are senators or representatives.

You can look up delinquent taxpayers by name online through the DOR's site, but those are folks whom liens have been filed against.

Willey said he did not believe any of the legislators' debts had been unsettled that long.

Thanks to Peach Pundit for calling my attention to the story. I await their next post, accusing the mainstream media of failing to report on it.
