PROVIDENCE, R.I. –Rhode Island Gov. Don Carcieri has paid more than $12,000 in back taxes after being issued a tax lien on a vacation home in Florida.
Carcieri and his wife, Suzanne, were issued the lien on one of two condominiums they own in Stuart, Fla., after failing to pay the last two years of property taxes on the home.
Carcieri spokeswoman Amy Kempe said the governor didn’t know about the tax problem because the bills had been sent to his former address in East Greenwich.
She called it an oversight and said the governor paid the back taxes by Federal Express on Wednesday after being alerted by the media.
