Today the Baltimore Sun finally got around to covering a small part of the Conaway property tax scandal that had yet to be mentioned in the mainstream media. I covered the Mary Conaway aspect of the story back in March.
The Conaways (Mary and Frank Sr.) should have known that between them they were receiving three homestead property tax credits when they should only have been receiving one! I brought up the very important marriage aspect of Mary Conaway’s (she is the sitting Register of Wills in Baltimore) role in this mess in the original article that disgraced city councilwoman Belinda Conaway sued me over. Why does this Mary Conaway signed document (originally posted here in MARCH) say Mary Conaway is an unmarried woman? Why does this Frank and Belinda Conaway signed document say that Frank Conaway Sr. is an unmarried man? When are these games going to stop?
I know the Sun has limited space, but the marriage issues that the above linked to documents reveal could have been explored at some point. Why do the Conaways say they are married in public, but on legal documents they say they are unmarried? They can not be married and unmarried at the same time! Public officials must be held accountable for these types of disgraceful controversies. All of the Conaway’s need to resign and return the property tax money they should have been paying for years upon years! The good news for disgraced councilwoman Belinda Conaway is that if she says she lives in Randallstown (like signed documents state) then she does not owe any back property taxes, but she also should not be representing a district in a jurisdiction where she does not live. No matter what Belinda Conaway should resign immediately.
Today I was on the C4 show hosted by Marta H. Mossburg. We talked about the Conaway controversies. I want to thank Marta for having me on the show and for her bringing up why no other elected officials have spoken up against the numerous embarrassing Conaway controversies. Jody Landers is the only mayoral candidate who has talked about the residency issues. It is pretty obvious that more than a few of our leaders are pulling off similar Conaway moves. There are some who do not want to “snitch” on their friends and others who do not want to rock the boat because that could mess up their own personal political ambitions. There is no legitimate excuse for the silence of our leaders. Our leaders remained silent when an elected official frivolously sued a blogger for millions of dollars because he posted legal documents that showed she received a homestead property tax credit in Randallstown. They may be elected officials but a true leader would not sit idly by when such an injustice is carried out by a colleague. The City Council and the mayor should be figuring out a way to remove Belinda Conaway from office to properly punish her for her outrageous actions which brought national shame to Baltimore and its city council.
Our leaders will keep trying to play around with their taxes, residences, and all sorts of other things until one is made an example of. These types of actions can no longer go unpunished!
Looks like a Twitter person is getting a kick out of Frank Conaway’s embarasements. The FakeConaway Twitter account has an interesting photo of the Conaway family that looks like it was taken at Mary’s Cross Country address (Google map 6810 Cross Country to see the front yard). Since Papa, Sister, and Brother bear all say they live on Liberty Heights I find it interesting that they decided to pose for a photo on Cross Country. That does not seem very convenient for three of the Conaways.
Another odd Mary Conaway document can be found here.
The Four Bears campaign account is getting some serious scrutiny according to this article. All of you will remember that I talked about Frank Conaway’s “Lump Sum” issues in a previous post of mine.
