Rep. Denny Hoskins Cited For More Than $20k In Overdue Taxes And Penalties

DigitalBurg.com and The Daily Star-Journal are reporting that freshman Rep. Denny Hoskins (R-Warrensburg) owes more than $20,000 in past due property taxes and fines on property taxes he owns with his brother. A full $4,200 of that total are penalties for the delinquencies.

While many families are indeed struggling in this rough economy, Hoskins has made his fiscal management skills and CPA credentials a central part of his campaigning. 

In a statement to the press, Hoskins states that his brother, Brian, took over managing the rental properties for their company, Hos Properties, LLC, after Denny’s election to the House.  However, court documents filed this year by the company against a tenant show that Rep. Hoskins continued to play an active role in the company, months after the 2008 election.
