$4,500 tax lien filed against mayoral candidate Sarah Iannarone
State tax collectors filed a nearly $4,500 lien last year against Sarah Iannarone, Portland's newly announced mayoral candidate who hopes to raise big bucks for the May 17 election.
Iannarone didn't fully pay personal income taxes for 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, according to the lien, filed in Multnomah County and obtained by The Oregonian/OregonLive.
In a brief interview Thursday, she blamed the issue on an "accounting error" and said it is being addressed, although she wasn't sure whether the debt has been paid. There was no record Thursday with Multnomah County saying it had been satisfied.
Iannarone said the issue of unpaid taxes shouldn't detract from her candidacy or fundraising goals. Earlier Thursday, Iannarone said she hoped to raise $100,000 in the early weeks of her campaign to show she's a viable opponent to frontrunners Ted Wheeler and Jules Bailey.
