Marcy Kaptur (D., Ohio), who faces a tough reelection contest in November, has voted for tax increases throughout her four-decade run in Congress but failed to pay property taxes on time on 13 occasions, according to records obtained by the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Between 2006 and 2013, Kaptur\u00a0paid nine penalties to Lucas County for the late tax payments, which she owed on six of her properties. The congresswoman owed delinquent taxes on two occasions: $622.89 in 2013 and $173.87 in 2006.<\/p>\n<p>The Ohio Democrat&#8217;s track record of tax delinquency could present an issue on the campaign trail, given Kaptur has pushed for tax hikes even as voters struggle with record-high inflation. She voted to pass the so-called Inflation Reduction Act, which allocates $80 billion to the Internal Revenue Service and will more than double the size of the agency with 87,000 new employees.
