Alsobrooks issued $47K bill for property tax underpayments in DC
U.S. Senate candidate Angela Alsobrooks just got a hefty bill for receiving property tax credits she was not qualified for.
The former governor Larry Hogan was criticized for potential conflicts of interest involving his real estate firm. Alsobrooks was accused of benefitting from tax credits she was not eligible for. Both maintain their innocence.
Alsobrooks has been partially focused in her campaign on the idea of the 51st vote – and Democratic control of the Senate.
"This race is about defeating Donald Trump. It is about, in so doing, making sure that we are protecting our reproductive freedoms. It is about making sure that we have sensible gun laws that protect our children from gun violence. It's about protecting voting rights. It's about building an economy that works for all of our children," said Alsobrooks. "This race is also about preserving the 51st vote. That's why the Senate race is likewise so important to make sure that we are confirming Supreme Court justices who respect our freedoms, unlike these conservative judges."
