Judge revokes bankruptcy discharge for Deal's daughter and her husband


ATLANTA — A federal judge has revoked the discharge of a 2009 bankruptcy of more than $3 million in debts by the daughter and son-in-law of Republican gubernatorial candidate Nathan Deal.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Brizendine made the decision Friday after re-examining the case when it was revealed that Clint Wilder had a previous bankruptcy in 2001. Bankruptcy laws bar anyone from filing for protection more than once within eight years.

Deal's daughter and son-in-law, Carrie and Clint Wilder, filed for bankruptcy in 2009 after their Habersham County store failed. It left Deal and his wife, Sandra, on the hook for a $2.3 million loan they guaranteed for the venture.

Deal was not mentioned in the bankruptcy filing but the lawyer handling the case for the U.S. government said he should have been listed as a co-debtor.

note the last line! Roy Barnes has made a big issue out of the fact that Deal can't seem to tell the truth about his finances, and Deals atty. has tried to make this mess go away, I'm sure thinking that this debt was gone. Well, IT'S BAAAAAAKK! I'm sure hoping that Deal loses & if this issue makes that happen, that's fine with me.

Besides, it pisses me off that this SIL has already dumped one bankruptcy debt on the people and now he wants to do another one!!!

1. Would be nice to see Barnes win and actually have the voting machines reflect that fact.

He almost certainly won in 02, when he was up 11 points in pre-election polling and ended up losing by 5 points (on completely unverifiable Diebold touch screen voting machines).

Where he wins or not will probably not be determined, unfortunately, by how many people actually vote for him.
