Republican leader Andy Martin, who has become New Hampshire’s newest “tax collector,” as well as the state’s leading corruption fighter, will hold a telephone news conference Thursday, February 7th to call on Republican state chairman Jennifer Horn to provide a public and full disclosure of her tax problems with the IRS. “Jennifer Horn is falsely blaming ‘the economy’ for not paying her taxes, when the fact is she diverted federal tax dollars from the IRS to her own political campaigns,” Andy charges. “Diverting funds is hardly the ‘tough decisions’ Horn claims. As I predicted in January, the first time I tried to ‘bag’ a Democrat - Annie Kuster – for arrogance and corruption, Democratic Boss Ray Buckley responded by exposing Jennifer Horn as an even bigger tax cheat. I also had to ‘shame’ the Republican party into making a pro forma statement against Kuster. My attacks on Kuster resulted in collected taxes for local authorities. I am proud of the results I produced. Thursday I continue my efforts to reform the Republican Party. Horn should either tell the truth, the full truth and nothing but the truth about the current status of her IRS situation, or quit. As for the Union Leader, the paper’s attempt to rewrite the history of ‘Kustergate’ is laughable.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
ANNOUNCEMENT OF TELEPHONE NEWS CONFERENCE
“Kuster’s Last Stand” – Andy Martin “bags” Annie Kuster as the corruption-fighter’s demand for Kuster to “pay up” forces Kuster to pay her real estate taxes
New Hampshire Republican leader and corruption fighter Andy Martin says his prediction that Democrats would use Jennifer Horn’s tax problems as a retort to Republican efforts to challenge unethical Democrats came to fruition Tuesday
Andy says Jennifer Horn must fully disclose her arrangements with the IRS or step down; Horn’s claim she is making unspecified “payments” to the IRS is insufficient when Democrats violate the law and the state Republican Party is forced to remain silent
Andy says the Republican Party cannot make a comeback in New Hampshire as long as State Chairman Jennifer Horn is neutered because of her own unpaid taxes; Andy says Horn should step down since Horn is obviously incapable of attacking Democrats for failing to pay their taxes
“How can Jennifer Horn manage the Republican Party’s finances, when she can’t manage her own Andy demands
Andy says Horn is continuing to repeat her lie that “the economy” is to blame for Horn’s criminal activity; “the economy” had nothing to do with Horn's nonpayment. Horn diverted money from her federal income taxes into her two congressional campaigns, which may be a criminal act
If Horn persists in refusing to “come clean” about her secret finances and use of the IRS as a piggy bank, Andy promises to review “all options”
Andy says the Union Leader tries to “rewrite history” by falsely suggesting Jennifer Horn’s staff led the charge against Kuster
Andy calls Jennifer Horn a “faker” and a “taker not a “maker”
(MANCHESTER, NH) (February 6, 2013) New Hampshire Republican leader and corruption fighter Andy Martin will hold a telephone news conference Thursday, February 7th to demand that Republican Party state chairman Jennifer Horn make a full disclosure of her IRS tax liabilities.
“The state Republican Party was paralyzed Monday when WMUR-TV exposed Annie Kuster’s tax shenanigans Andy says. “WMUR reported that the Republican Party ‘declined to comment I took the lead in attacking Kuster and ridiculing my own Republicans for having an embarrassing conflict of interest. Kuster saw me coming after her – and paid her taxes.
“Horn had the audacity to repeat to the Union Leader her lie that her husband’s job is responsible for her unwillingness to pay her income taxes. Horn’s unpaid taxes are five years old. Why is Jennifer working at a full-time job for free, when she should be working to earn money to pay her back taxes? Horn apparently considers the IRS a piggy bank. Princess Jennifer is voluntarily unemployed at a time when she has five year-old tax bills. Horn is a faker and a taker, not a maker.
“Horn’s unpaid tax bill is based on her income – not the lack of income. She took in money and diverted the cash from the IRS to her own congressional campaigns. That’s illegal.
“As a Republican, I refuse to accept Horn’s lies as a substitute for the facts. I call on Horn to release all of her tax returns, her IRS correspondence and her record of her alleged ‘regular payments’ to the IRS.
“Yesterday Democratic Boss Ray Buckley fired back after Kuster’s tax issues were disclosed by saying Horn owed even more back taxes than Kuster, and Horn’s taxes were still unpaid five years later. Are Horn’s unpaid tax bills what Republicans are going to offer as ‘leadership’ and ‘change’ in 2014?
“Either Horn comes clean or gets out. Those are her options Andy says.
“Finally, why is the Union leader misrepresenting the ‘Kustergate’ timeline to the newspaper’s readers? The Union leader falsely reported (see link below) ‘The Republicans wasted little time In point of fact, when asked by WMUR to comment on Monday, Republicans refused to criticize Kuster (see link below). It was only after I attacked Kuster and ridiculed the Republican Party’s leadership for not criticizing Kuster that Republicans were embarrassed into joining the fray. Kuster paid her taxes at 1:05 yesterday. The Republicans did not issue a news release until 1:13, - after Kuster’s taxes were already paid. Why the Union leader distorts objective facts to create a false impression is beyond me
