Bringing GRIDLOCK to Beacon HIll

There are plenty of important things that should be changed on Beacon Hill. The trivia this small band of 5 is challenging is petty, among other things. Pity!

Rep. Jim Lyons seems to have problems all over. There's more that the 2 items posted below that provide a flavor for this Tea Bagger Rep.......

Feud between Rep. Lyons and neighbor continues

In addition to the liens, the letter pointed to a 2002 Rockingham Superior Court case in September 2002, in which the plaintiff, Tiki Trust, claimed Lyons’ business breached a commercial lease agreement for a property in Seabrook, N.H., by vacating the property and not paying the rent.

The realty trust also alleged that Lyons promoted “injustice or fraud upon the plaintiff (because) the corporation was formed and carried on its business without sufficient assets,” according to a court document.

A judge ordered Lyons to pay $42,960 in back rent and real estate taxes and criticized the way Lyons ran the business.

“These facts demonstrate that defendant (Lyons) undercapitalized his corporation, he knew of the corporation’s financial deficiencies but continued to allow the business to incur debt and other legal obligations,” the judge wrote.

When the judgment remained unpaid in September 2006, a judge increased it to $63,061 to cover interest and added legal costs. 
Lyons said he has paid the full amount and the case has been settled.

Lyons also encountered more tax troubles last year. While no lien was filed, the town of Tewksbury issued an “instrument of taking” last November for $20,863 in taxes that were due in May 2009. The taxes were paid on Feb. 2 of this year, according to the Tewksbury tax collector’s office.

Lyons, whose campaign Web page includes the slogan “Declare your independence from higher taxes,” said his experience has taught him how excessive taxation and regulation hurt small businesses.

So this “small business owner” attempted to stiff the government, stiff his landlord, and thumb his nose at the Court.

Sounds like just another typical Massachusetts GOP legislator to me.
