CHICAGO, Jan. 7 (UPI) -- Chicago mayoral candidate Carol Moseley Braun repeatedly has been late to pay her property taxes, public records show.
Braun, a former U.S. senator, paid Cook County, Ill., more than $3,400 in late penalties, and for taxes owed in 2009 she paid two installments last summer after being warned the taxes were about to be put up for auction, the Chicago Tribune reported. A sale would have exposed her to investors who could have bought them and been owed interest when she redeemed them.
