POLITICAL ROUNDUP
Franken To Pay Back Income Taxes
Minnesota Democratic Senate hopeful Al Franken says he will pay about $70,000 in back income taxes in 17 states where he earned income going back to 2003, the Associated Press reported.
The former radio talk show host, who is seeking to defeat Sen. Norm Coleman, has been under attack by Republicans for failing to file tax returns in California for several years that he earned money there.
Franken told the AP he never intended to avoid paying taxes. He says during the years in question, he paid his entire income tax bill to the city and state where he lived.
Franken says he did this on the advice of his accountant, but he takes responsibility.
