Votes No on Treasury Nominee
Calls Timothy Geithner’s Failure to Pay Taxes ‘More Than a Mistake’

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., today released the following statement regarding Timothy Geithner’s confirmation to head the Treasury Department. Geithner was confirmed by a vote of 60 to 34. Isakson voted against confirming Geithner.

“Timothy Geithner is a talented and able man. However, that fact does not outweigh the fact that Mr. Geithner failed to pay payroll taxes on two years income at the IMF, even after the IRS audited his returns for the two succeeding years and discovered his failure to pay. It was only days before his nomination that he came forward to pay the other two years. That was more than a mistake for someone nominated to oversee the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service. I cannot support his nomination.”

GA Senator Saxby Chambliss also voted against confirmation of Geithner. I do not have a statement regarding his reasons, but I would assume they are very similar to those expressed by Senator Isakson.

Thank you to our two GA Senators who voted against the confirmation of Geithner to become Secretary of the Treasury. Obama has now put a man in charge of the department that oversees the IRS who went from 2001 – 2008 without paying taxes.

Thank you for Keeping The Faith,
Sadie Fields
