Third Time is Not a Charm for Obama’s Cabinet
Categories
Facing negative publicity over unpaid taxes, Tom Daschle withdrew his name from consideration as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Nancy Killefer, Obama’s pick for Chief Performance Officer, also withdrew her nomination, citing her unpaid payroll taxes for a household employee.
Too bad Timothy Geithner (Secretary of the Treasury) didn’t do the same. Now we have a tax cheat in charge of the IRS. As an honest taxpayer and tax lawyer, I am personally and professionally outraged!
