Brian Davis hit with tax penalties

Politico looks at candidates across the country being criticized for tax liens. Among the offenders: Brian Davis, the Republican-endorsed candidate in Minnesota’s First Congressional District.

Here’s the relevant snippet:

• Minnesota Republican Brian Davis, who is challenging freshman Democratic Rep. Timothy J. Walz, paid tax penalties on his house in Rochester, Minn., every year from 2003 to 2007 — a combined total of $1,237.05 in fines, fees and interest — according to Olmsted County property records.

Perhaps he uses the same accountant as Al Franken.
