If you go to her site, she is clearly a Democrat. Why does the media look out for Dems but wastes no time in throwing Repubs under the bus? How come there is no R or D next to her name?

I KNOW the state of Georgia will do that for you. Gets your attention pretty quick when you can't buy groceries. Wonder why they never did that to her? “How could I owe $15,000? I only make $17,000 [each year],” Abdul-Salaam said. Yeah and I just bet she's not driving an 8 year old Honda. "Nobody contacted me." Yeah I believe that one too like the tooth fairy and Georgia being in the top 10 of educational achievement in the US. What did she THINK those envelopes from the Department of Revenue were? what bugs me is that for most folks 3-4 years is most you can get before they start FREEZING your accounts.

Wonder why the Feds haven't garnished her wages. Unbelievable that she is still allowed to hold office. Ignorance or claimed ignorance of laws is NO excuse.

The fact that this woman is allowed to hold public office blows my mind. I'm an out of work journalist who also "has no money." But yet I always pay and have paid my taxes. This sort of news really ticks me off. Why do some government officials think they are above the law? We need term limits at every step of government and really need to limit who and what can give money to political officials. That's the only way corruption can truly be rooted out - these people need to get back to the job of being servants for the public and not worrying about getting elected the next time. The system nationwide has never been more broken. Good story! The fact that this woman is allowed to hold public office blows my mind.
