Whoopsie...
The intarwebs are a bit abuzz over the escapades of
Senator Menendez.
It seems that his enabler is a bit dirty too -- from the
Washington Free Beacon:
Dem Super PAC Donor Owes IRS $11.1 Million
The Florida ophthalmologist caught in the middle of Sen. Robert Menendez�s prostitute scandal is also one of the largest donor�s to the Super PAC supporting Senate Democrats.
Salomon Melgen founded the Melgen Vitreo Retinal Eye Center in Florida, formerly known as Vitreo Retinal Consultants Eye Center. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Melgen�s Vitreo Retinal Consultants has contributed at least $700,000 to Majority PAC, a Super PAC dedicated to Democrat candidates for Senate and founded by a former aide to Sen. Harry Reid.
During this cycle, Melgen has also contributed at least $5,000 to Menendez and $10,000 to the New Jersey Democrat State Committee.
Melgen, however, has some serious problems with the Internal Revenue Service. In May 2011, the IRS filed a federal tax lien against Melgen for more than $11.1 million in unpaid taxes dating back to 2006. According to the Palm Beach County Clerk and Comptroller website, the lien has not been released or withdrawn.
It just gets better and better -- Lulu and I will be voting tomorrow. It is nice to vote with someone when the votes amplify -- Jen's and my ballots mostly canceled out.
