RPOF Chair Owed Back Taxes

Charlie Crist can sure pick his cronies.

The head of Florida's Republican Party has been very supportive of efforts to give residents tax relief. But until Monday morning, it looked like Jim Greer had found his own personal way to keep tax bills down -- by not paying them.

According to records with Seminole County's tax appraiser and property-tax office, Greer, who lives in Oviedo, had "delinquent taxes" totaling more than $13,000 on a company he owned.

Greer did pay the taxes after he was informed by Orlando Sentinel columnist Scott Maxwell.
