• 1 felony conviction,
• 7 misdemeanors,
• 21 court judgments and IRS liens for unpaid taxes and bills totaling more than $200,000,
• 1 lawsuit for unpaid debt of $157,000, and
• Years of late and unpaid property taxes.

His lengthy record of unpaid taxes and debt contradicts one of Paul Milde’s major assertions in his campaign literature: that he is a “successful businessman.”

As a private citizen, Mr. Milde’s continuing tax and debt troubles would not normally be the stuff of public inquiry. But by placing his business credentials at the core of his campaign, and seeking to hold a pubic office that helps establish tax rates for citizens and determines how taxpayer dollars are spent, Mr. Milde’s ironic failure to pay his own taxes on time seems inappropriate, at the very least. 

This is especially true for his repeatedly late payment of local real estate property taxes, which resulted in the issuance of thousands of dollars in penalties and late fees between 2002 and 2009. For taxpayers, Mr. Milde’s financial mismanagement raises questions about his competence to handle fiscal matters, a central part of the job of Supervisor.
