| AOC Still Owes $2,000 In Unpaid Taxes From Failed Business Venture |

| I mention 'still' because I know I posted about it when I first heard about it. She's trying to run the clock out. [NY Post] - US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants to raise taxes on the rich — but not pay her own. The Democratic socialist congresswoman from The Bronx still hasn’t paid a 7-year-old tax bill left over from a failed business venture. AOC had founded Brook Avenue Press, a publishing house that sought designers, artists and writers from urban areas to help paint The Bronx in a positive way in children’s stories, in 2012. As The Post previously reported, public records show the state dissolved the company in October 2016. The state can make such a move when a business fails to pay corporate taxes or file a return. The state Tax Department then filed a warrant against her now-defunct business on July 6, 2017, over a $1,618.36 unpaid bill. |

| #2 Funny, the former mayor of Baltimore, Catherine PUGH, tried her hand at children's stories, too. It would be delightful if AOC could end up like Frau Pugh (sentenced but keeps putting off going to the slammer..."health reasons, of course). |
