Huffington Paid Little Income Tax
The candidate for governor has criticized 'fat cats' for avoiding taxes. She denies taking advantage of loopholes and unfair deductions.
By Rich Connell and Robert J. Lopez
Times Staff Writers

August 14, 2003

TV commentator and author Arianna Huffington, who launched her campaign for governor with criticism of "fat cats" who fail to shoulder a fair share of taxes, paid no individual state income tax and just $771 in federal taxes during the last two years, her tax returns show.

Huffington, who released her tax returns for the last two years to The Times, lives in an 8,000-square-foot home in Brentwood above Sunset Boulevard that is valued at about $7 million. She socializes with many wealthy and prominent people.

But the returns show that at least for the last two years, her income was far outweighed by losses that she reported were incurred by Christabella Inc., the private corporation she owns and uses to manage her writing and lecturing business.

5. Arianna is great

I think Bustamonte is our best chance to defeat Arnold. But I could be wrong. Does anyone know where Bustamonte stands on the issues? All I know is that he's backing Lieberman. Where does he stand on special interests or the death penalty? If we are going to ask people to vote for him, we need to know what he stands for.
