Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, President Obama's nominee for to
be Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services,
has amended her 2005, 2006 and 2007 tax returns, the Obama
administration disclosed Tuesday, on the even of a major world
economic summit in London.
The HHS Secretary-designate asked a CPA to review her taxes
before her nomination was officially sent up to the Senate. The
CPA found the problems, and Sebelius and her husband wrote a
check to the IRS for $7,040 in back taxes and $878 in interest.
The president's strategy is obvious: he plans on paying
down the deficit one appointee at a time.
