Willamette Week reported yesterday that Republican candidate for Oregon Governor may have improperly claimed a $350,000 deduction on his 2004 taxes for donating the right to Lake Oswego Fire Department, to burn his house down for educational purposes.
The thing is, he was going to demolish the structure to build his own home, and as is pointed out in the story, the IRS recently won two cases that nearly mirror Dudley's tax deduction claim.
So how is it that the IRS red flags failed? Don't you want to know why the IRS has increased audits of low and middle income taxpayers, but not that of high income taxpayers?
Well, seems like Dudley's a real dud. He's dodging taxes while trying to suggest that Oregon deserves better.
