When Jim Keet, the Republican nominee for governor, dropped a cake intended for his wife Doody at a news conference last week, it was a metaphor for his campaign to tempting for columnist John Brummett to pass up.
Funny coincidence. You've been reading about Republican gubernatorial candidate Jim Keet's improper claim of a homestead tax exemption on property in Arkansas while he was a resident of Florida.
The Democrat-Gazette today ran through a litany of tax problems for Republican gubernatorial candidate Jim Keet — claiming a homestead tax credit to which he wasn't entitled; non-payment of property taxes on a plane kept in Arkansas; late payment of property and restaurant taxes.
I've written before about Republican gubernatorial candidate Jim Keet's Florida roots. He spent the better part of the last decade in the restaurant business in Florida and voted there.
Some recent polling on both sides of the political fence turned up some slightly scary numbers for Gov. Mike Beebe — a lead over Jim Keet but a number for Beebe under 50 percent.
Perhaps he should start spending it. From Beebe campaign:The Mike Beebe for Governor campaign will file its monthly financial report with the Secretary of State’s Office today for the month of July.
