Remember the Republican first-time candidate, Brian Watson, who implicitly called one of Colorado's most beloved statesmen a jackass on his mailer--and managed to make a grammatical error, too?
Well, maybe he couldn't afford the extra e to spell "asses," because it turns out Watson's in debt, deep, to the second-worst folks to be indebted to, after the Mob. He owes $279,000 in taxes, according to KVDR's Eli Stokols.
Watson, who often cites his business ownership as an asset in the tight HD3 race, blames mismanagement of a business he purchased for his tax woes. In a letter to investors in Aspen Moving and Storage (accountable for nearly $150K of the debt), Watson cited the purchase of that company as an investment he now wishes he hadn't made.
