Leake Owes Back Taxes

County tax records show nearly $1,300 in back taxes are owed on two pieces of land linked to Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board member Vilma Leake.

Leake said Thursday she hadn’t received notice of the delinquent tax bills, but will call to check on what may be owed.

Busted! Good ole Vilma owes $787.35 in back taxes on a vacant lot she owns and $509.60 on another in her late husband’s name. There are several delinquent bills totaling in these amount.

She said she doesn’t understand why people are prying into her private business and said she hopes those who are criticizing her have paid their taxes.

That’s because she’s an idiot. She is going to be a County Commissioner responsible for a budget of over a billion dollars. Why wouldn’t the residents of Mecklenburg County want to know about how she handles her own finances? If she can’t manage her own, how can she be trusted to handle an entire county’s?

`I’ve been paying my taxes,” Leake said. “I don’t have a problem paying my taxes.”

Obviously she does have a problem paying her taxes otherwise it wouldn’t be in today’s newspaper and I wouldn’t be writing this post!  I doubt this will effect her candidacy much.  A lot of the district she’s running in encompasses the ghetto fabulous who aren’t exactly up and up on their bills either.
