MA Politicians Love Spending Other People's Money, Dislike Paying Taxes

[From article]
Since the story about her deadbeat status broke last week, L’Italien has been blaming the lien on “larger than usual deductions based on a personal family medical situation, which resulted in a dispute, and (she) is confident that when the dispute is resolved her family will be refunded in full.”
In the meantime, she somehow found the money to remove the liens — once the story hit the papers.
She immediately accused her GOP opponent of having liens on his property. It was not true. I asked Vispoli if she’d apologized for spreading false rumors.
“No apology,” he said. “It’s a question of judgment. Voters deserve a senator who’s going to be honest.”
But pointing out the truth about her, apparently, is “gutter politics.” Or so L’Italien says.

Somewhere Sal DiMasi and Willie Lantigua are thinking about their old pal and saying, “You go girl!”
