Daschle "Deeply" Sorry For Tax Mistake
Health & Human Services nominee Tom Daschle told reporters he was "deeply" sorry for his tax "mistake." Daschle owed $128,000 in back taxes plus some $12,000 in interest..
"All of my life, I have assiduously tried to pay my taxes in full and on time. My failure to recognize that the use of a car was income and not a gift from a good friend was a mistake," Daschle said.
"When I realized the mistake, I notified officials and I paid the tax in full. It was completely inadvertent. But that's no excuse. I deeply apologize.
"I would hope that my mistake could be viewed in the context of 30 years of public service," Daschle added.
