Corruption at Its Finest: Charles Rangel #Two

http://americasnewstoday.com/stories/BRiT-09182008-CHARLesRANGeL.html

The hits keep coming for Congressman Charlie Rangel. The New York Post reports the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee has been using a congressional parking garage for years as free storage for his old Mercedes-Benz.

The Post reports the 1972 sedan is partially covered with a tarp and has no license plates. State records indicate the vehicle's registration expired in 2004.

House rules forbid using the garage for long-term storage. Other House rules say all cars must have license plates and a valid parking permit. And under IRS regulations, the free parking is considered "imputed income" and must be declared to the IRS. Fox News reported that Rangel had the car towed this afternoon.

Rangel is already under investigation for his use of four rent-controlled apartments in Harlem and unreported rental income from a villa in the Dominican Republic. So far, House Democrats have blocked all efforts to get Rangel to give up his seat during those investigations.
