RALEIGH, N.C. -- North Carolina State Auditor Beth Wood has paid in full the property taxes that were past due on her Raleigh home.
Wake County property tax records show Wood paid $1,238 late last month. The bill for 2009 taxes was due in September and started collecting interest in January.
Wood said last month she was trying to juggle her debts like other average people. She says she had to borrow $90,000 to help her 2008 campaign.
The Democrat is a certified public accountant who took office last year. She has said her personal finances are irrelevant to her work in state government.

What?
"She has said her personal finances are irrelevant to her work in state government." - Beth Wood
What? The state auditor can't manage her finances and that is irrelevant? Seems like these crooks can say whatever anymore and take a free pass...... I'll bet when you look in the mirror in the morning Beth you have no reflection......
Gues again, Bethie!
"The Democrat is a certified public accountant who took office last year. She has said her personal finances are irrelevant to her work in state government."
Not only is your inability to manage finances and pay taxes in a timely manner relevant to your job as a state auditior, but it totally calls into question your competence as a CPA...
...oh....that is, unless you're simply a crook.
Wasn't it Leona Helmsley who said that taxes were for the little people? Hey, at least she admitted her disdain for the law. Democrats just seem to ignore it until they get caught.
It isn't a partisan issue
Republicans have been guilty of the same thing. Hell, McCain defaulted for 4 years on property taxes in Florida.
