WASHINGTON — Ohio Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown was more than four (4) months delinquent in paying taxes on his Washington, D.C., apartment. He had to pay a penalty and interest last week.
This was not the first time, records show.
Brown also was delinquent in 2006 and 2007. He had to pay penalties and interest, according to tax records from the District of Columbia.
“I was late,” he said on a conference call with reporters when asked about the recent delinquency. “I misplaced the bill and I paid it as soon as I found out. I paid a penalty for being late, and it won’t happen again.”
When a reporter noted that it also happened five and six years ago, Brown said: “I misplaced it then. This is a small apartment. I’m not in D.C. nearly every week. I’m here when the Senate’s in session. I’m here three or four nights a week. I paid the penalty. And in no way, obviously, was I avoiding taxes.”
