$150k isn't shit to Sheed.

Just cut the check, Rashweed.

I never understood the "Rashweed" thing... Vescey came up with it, and it didn't seem that clever to me.

Because some people think pot is some terrible drug. Most people don't care at all.

I really don't care what Rasheed does with his properties. Sounds like he doesn't ever go to this house maybe he forgot theres taxes on it. Maybe he gave the house to a deadbeat relative. Maybe he is walking away from the house. The story doesn't tell us enough to judge unless you've already decided how Sheed should be judged in all situations.

The article says, the neighbors say, it's been unoccupied for years.

From the hatred in that KATU article I'm thinking...can the semi-employed Jason Quick find a job with KATU?

Pretty sleazy to approach someone trying to work with this. It is his business why taxes have not been paid.

 

[HailBlazers]

Fuck em

 

[illmatic99]

Freakin Portland media, man. Who gives a shit about this?

 

[tlongII]

If he doesn't pay the taxes, eventually Multnomah Country will take ownership of the property. Not a big deal.

No, what it tells me is that he owes the County 150k. I don't need anything more to judge. The County should put a lien on the home and take it since he obviously has the money to pay for the taxes owed. They'd do that to you or me.

Jasonquick is a piece of shit

No, the process takes time to play out for you or me just the same as Rasheed. Banks and Countys do not move fast with anything property related.

Local news (Katu, Oregonian etc.) Are the scum of the earth.

After you are LATE paying 3 years, when you get your 4th year's bill, the county can and will pursue a lien. Meanwhile, they will charge ridiculous interest and late fees, and continue to compound them.

Sheed will be past due on one (1) year (2012), with this year (2013) or part of this year (his payment choice) arriving and being due this coming Friday. Roughly 40% of all Oregon property owners are in the same situation, most of them much, much worse off and owing more years.

A more accurate story here, if it's got to be about Sheed, would be how he is actually more current on his property tax payments than a huge segment of Oregonians.

Trying to remember the last time I actually sat down and wanted to watch any local news (or news at all).... think I'm going on 9 years. lol.

Don't care about this story. In time, the government will get what's owed as they always do. What is freaking obscene is that we live in a state where you can have to pay taxes of that amount just to own your home. Our property tax system is broken and the people seem too indifferent to change it.

Unpaid taxes are a matter of public record.

Unpaid taxes are a matter of public record.

So if you have any delinquent bills, it would be ok for KATU to send a trenchcoat reporter to your place of work and ask about it?

+1.
Property taxes are ridiculous.

More like it makes people lazy, perhaps like Sheed.

Yeah, most people really don't care about deadbeats who don't pay their debts. But it is surprising when a guy who made $80 million while living in Portland doesn't bother to pay his back taxes.

Sounds like he doesn't ever go to this house maybe he forgot theres taxes on it.

Yeah, that's the ticket! He just forgot about those taxes. Happens to people all the time when confronted with a $150,000 bill.

Maybe he gave the house to a deadbeat relative. Maybe he is walking away from the house. The story doesn't tell us enough to judge unless you've already decided how Sheed should be judged in all situations.

Uh, huh. I'm sure Wallace is doing the right thing, because he's known as a guy who always does the right thing.

Gee, I don't know. It seems perfect to me.

If I owed $150k in back taxes, and was a public figure who took a giant dump on the city when I moved elsewhere, I'd assume that the media in the town I insulted would report it.

Reporting is one thing. Trenchcoat confrontations are another.
