Sen. Claire McCaskill charges the American taxpayer $88K for her private jet
Sen. Claire McCaskill charges the American taxpayer $88K for her private jet
The tough 2012 re-election fight that Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) is facing just got a whole lot tougher after revelations that she and her husband failed to pay $287,273 in property taxes on a private jet.
The disclosure followed reports that she billed taxpayers for political trips on the jet, prompting her to send the Treasury $88,000 in compensation. McCaskill, who said she'll repay the $287,000, too, wants her husband to "sell the damn plane," but Republicans are already running ads about McCaskill's tax gaffe.
It's easy to see why: If the GOP picks off just four Democratic seats next year, they win control of the Senate.
