City Commish Pays Owed Taxes For Florida Residency Claims

The commissioner of the city's Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications has agreed to give back $2,800 after skirting taxes by claiming two residences as her permanent address—one of them in Florida. While working for the city, Commissioner Carole Post had been declaring Florida residency and taking advantage of a tax exemption intended for full-time Florida residents, allowing her and her husband to avoid some taxes on their multimillion dollar West Palm Beach property.

According to the Post, the Bloomberg administration appointee said she did not break any city rules and that by turning over the money, she has brought the issue to a close. "I am returning the benefits received, a total of approximately $2,800 over eight years, to the city and state. Florida authorities have informed me that such action would put us in full compliance with their requirements and would resolve the matter," she told the tabloid in a statement.

this is rich

'the Bloomberg administration appointee said she did not break any city rules.'

of course you did, you LIED about where you lived. they make city employees fill out stacks a paper, all of them make you sign and swear what you're saying is true, but she LIED and DID break the rules.

but she's a rich politcial appointee so she gets off scott free.

better question is what CIO experience does she have to now run a multi-billion dollar IT and Telecom department for the city. She has absolutely NO experience. None. Yet she's put in charge of 311, 911 all the city networks, parts of IT.

Its Bullshit. she's a well connected rich LADY and that trumps real experience. way to inspire the city employees Bloomberg. good going you jerk off.

Oops what happened to the fines and interest and penalties and all the other crap the city throws at you if you are two days late paying your water bill?
