It seems that Lisa Larson-Bunnell, candidate for reelection to Ward 3 council person supports a property tax delinquent for public office in Johnson County.
The campaign finance report for 9/1/21 for Dawn Rattan, candidate for JCCC Board of Trustees lists Larson-Bunnell as having contributed to her (Rattan's) campaign for $150 on 7/19/21. As of 10/3/21 the taxes for 2019 are still unpaid.
It's outrageous that a sitting city council person, running for reelection would support another candidate who is not up to date on their property taxes.
Ironically, Rattan has a history of being delinquent on property taxes. When she ran for city council in 2019 the property was delinquent for multiple years. That can be verified by researching the tax records and viewing dates when paid by clicking here to go to the JoCo tax office. When another citizen of the city brought out that information the multi year delinquencies did get paid. Currently, the 2020 taxes have been paid, but over $21,000 remains past due for 2019.
Larson-Bunnell had to know of Rattan's previous tax delinquencies. And, you'd think as an attorney and a sitting city councilperson she would have researched that candidate's records before contributing to her campaign. Not really a smart move on Larson-Bunnell's part. Not sure if I'd want someone like Larson-Bunnell representing me on the city council when she apparently can't use due diligence on researching those she contributes to for public office. Will she demand a refund of her contribution? Will she come out and withdraw any perceived endorsement that that contribution represents?
Or, do both of these left wing liberals have an attitude that "rules are for thee, not me"?
Larson-Bunnell should not be returned to the council in the upcoming election.
Rattan should not be elected to the JCCC Board of Trustees
