As a Republican, I really, really hope she runs for re-election.
Yes Claire, it was that and much, much more. Maybe this will bring you down from your lofty, snobbish attitude. You need to remember those days when you were a waitress and not just wear that experience on your sleeve.
Heh, give her credit for accepting responsibility and not making up a bunch of excuses! Mistakes happen to all of us.
When we erroneously forgot our son's car on an assessment form, we were lucky that it automatically got caught when it was time to re-license. That same check point does not exist for planes since they are licensed by the Feds not the State.
Whatever it was that brought this error to their attention, they made immediate restitution and disclosure. I give them credit for that.
ngoth02, Nice try. Read the stories in the St. Louis media about how this unfolded and you will get 'the rest of the story'.
Not until the local officials found the problem, much like the John Kerry boat deal about where the boat was kept, this was an issue of where the plane was kept.
Many times, in many places, the planes are not disclosed on personal property taxes. Ask any assessor about the paper trail and how they track planes for tax purposes.
Senator McCaskill and her husband had to 'make immediate restitution and disclosure' as soon as the jig was up.
So don't jump in the deep water on this deal just yet. More to come.
Claire, you can talk all you want but your walk had better be to a new vocation. You should not file for the Senate seat and put the Democrat Party in Missouri through the hell that will unfold. You will hurt every Demoncrat from the courthouse to the White House.

I didn't know she was that rich.
Whatever. Who's supposed to replace her, another zillionaire?
