JEFFERSON CITY | State Rep. Denny Hoskins reports he has paid off the $20,316-tax bill owed by his property management company. Ruthane Small, the Johnson County, Mo., collector, confirms that her office received his payment this afternoon.
Hoskins, a Warrensburg Republican and professional accountant, as recently as yesterday said he had no timeframe for paying the taxes. In a press release sent this afternoon, he said his company was engaging in a "tax payment installation plan."
Reached by phone, Hoskins said the company had planned to pay the bills off in a series of payments, but decided today to do it all at once.
Small, the collector, said taxpayers are not permitted in Johnson County to pay "installments" of tax bills, although Hoskins could have paid separately the balances on each of the properties. The bills on the five properties ranged from $500 to $9,637.
District Needs New Leadership

Seems like he paid it off to try and stop any political damage. I hope the voters of the district look at this closely. Not the kind of leadership or representative this district deserves. What else might he be hiding. Looks funny the way he says one thing one day and then quickly tries to sweep in under the table the next. Just one old dogs opinion.
