Trump-hating Democratic Georgia congressman John Lewis didn’t pay property taxes on his nearly $1 million fancy Washington, D.C. townhouse on Capitol Hill, despite being in Congress for decades, where the salary for a Representative starts at $174,000 per year.
Lewis was in the news recently for saying he doesn’t see President-elect Donald J. Trump as “a legitimate president” because of the #RussianHackers Democratic conspiracy theory.
Public records show he avoided paying property taxes on his DC townhouse at 219 3rd Street SE on Capitol Hill:
That house at 219 3rd Street SE was worth more than $810,000 in 2012 according to Nexis assessment records. It’s a nice fancy townhouse right next to Congress:
Nice house, John! Screenshot from Google Maps.
In 2010, legal action was threatened against Rep. John Lewis for his failure to pay property taxes, as documents exclusively obtained by GotNews show:
It’s unclear if Lewis still owns the house and is paying taxes for it.
As a long-time congressman, Lewis’ salary is at least $174,000 a year, which makes him richer than 92% of Americans:
Why doesn’t Rep. John Lewis like paying his taxes?
Doesn’t he want to “pay his fair share” like a good Democrat?
