Zeno, send this to hell and gone, if you like, under my name.

Full disclosure -- I support Rue, and worked for her as a hired gun as a graphic designer during her campaign. I was never part of the campaign, and am officially (thankfully) unemployed right now.
This morning I decided to see if Efren owns property in Sonoma County and if he is current on his property taxes. To the best of my ability to discern, he does own a house at 2158 Waltzer Road in Santa Rosa (it strains probability that there is another single Efren Carrillo who would have notices sent to his parent's address). I also confirmed that he owes property taxes on that property for a supplemental assessment (when he bought the property on May 23, 2007, they reassessed it -- he paid the property taxes for the original value). HE HAS NOT PAID PROPERTY TAXES DUE for that supplemental assessment due on 3/31/08 and 7/31/08. They are unpaid as of this morning.
While the amount is not large ($2000 +/-), I take GRAVE exception to his (and the PD's) making Rue's nonpayment of taxes a moral issue, and, further to Efren LYING in his yellow file folder "furchfacts" mailer -- put out by his own campaign -- in which he said that he "always paid [his taxes] on time and in full." Unless I'm missing something, that's simply not true.
I have copies of all the documents, and if someone wants to post them somewhere, on line, let me know.
STUNNING. Can't believe NO ONE looked this up before now.
