GOP charges on tax break for Heinz Kerry farm denied.

[MikeG]

A top Allegheny County Republican Party official yesterday lambasted Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, saying he has benefited from the same tax breaks for the rich that he has railed against in his campaign against George Bush.

...

But Marla Romash, senior adviser for Teresa Heinz Kerry, said Glancy is playing politics without the facts.

"It is unfortunate that Republican County Chairman Bob Glancy cared more about making a partisan political attack than checking the facts," Romash said.

"As a result, he's way off the mark. Mrs. Heinz Kerry does not receive the so-called 'Clean and Green' write-off because she has chosen not to apply for it."

Romash said Heinz Kerry in 2002 actually asked to pay higher taxes because she believed that the reassessment made that year valued her property too low.

SO SHE ACTUALLY ASKED TO PAY HIGHER TAXES.

1. Ha-ha!

The Republicans didn't even bother to check. They can't imagine anyone not being as greedy as they are!
