In the Matter of Kapszukiewicz Supporters’ Tax Delinquency
In a review of
Wade Kapszukiewicz’ donors from the Pre-Primary financial
report, we have found that Mr. Kapszukiewicz’ donors have a
last-year delinquency of at least $113,229.91 in taxes, with
$28,789.62 still currently owed. These folks, while unable
to pay their tax obligations, were able to contribute
$13,400 to Wade’s campaign.
Delinquent
taxes hurt our community; they mean that budgets aren’t met,
schools don’t get the resources they need to serve our kids,
potholes go unfilled, and government struggles to provide
essential services to constituents. This is alarming when
Mr. Kapszukiewicz’ campaign for mayor promises to increase
educational opportunity and take on the “distress” he claims
to see everywhere.
Mr.
Kapszukiewicz, the man whose job it is to collect taxes and
be the “guardian of taxpayer dollars” holds himself out as a
detail-oriented elected official who “signs a daily
report accounting for the tax money that passes through his
office.” Apparently he is willing to to overlook the
detail of his donors’ delinquencies, and miss the detail
that he has, since May, been running his campaign out of
office space valued at $2,000 a month for free from a
developer with whom he has arranged land deals.
Mr. Kapszukiewicz is willing to call these donors for his
own political gain, but won’t call them to fulfill the
duties he was elected, and sworn in just over a month ago,
to perform. Lucas County deserves better, and the City of
Toledo deserves a Mayor that puts Toledo and its citizens
first, not a career politician like Wade, asleep on the job
and dreaming of his next political office.
Maintain the momentum, keep Toledo working, and re-elect
Mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson.
