NELSON-PALLMEYER SUPPORTER THINKS FRANKEN’S TAX PROBLEMS HAVE DAMAGED HIS CANDIDACY
By Michael B. Brodkorb | May 14, 2008
“For months, Nelson-Pallmeyer rarely got more than passing mention in coverage of Franken’s Senate aspirations. The main Democratic fight was thought to be between Franken and wealthy lawyer Mike Ciresi. But in early March, the Nelson-Pallmeyer campaign began to claim it had surpassed Ciresi in delegate support; within a few days, Ciresi dropped out of the race.
That seemed to clear the field for Franken, but he was soon hit by damaging reports of sloppiness in the finances of his personal corporation. Franken ultimately said he would pay $70,000 in back taxes to 17 states, though he maintained his accountant had reported the income elsewhere.
‘I hate to see a man stumble on something like that, but I think it has had an effect,’ said Tom Jones, a Nelson-Pallmeyer backer. ‘It kind of feeds into the idea that the guy isn’t paying attention, and Coleman will hammer him on that.’” Source: Associated Press, May 11, 2008
