State Rep. may be in hot water over taxes: His own

A Democratic blog claims Republican state Rep. Ernie Leidiger "owes over $144,000 in overdue state and federal taxes and has three separate tax liens filed against him."
Leidiger, a freshman representative from Mayer, has not returned repeated phone calls from the Star Tribune for comment either last week or Monday.
But House Minority Leader Paul Thissen, DFL-Minneapolis, Monday weighed in.
"Rep. Leidiger owes an immediate explanation to his constituents and to the millions of small businesses and families across Minnesota who play by the rules every day, year after year," Thissen said in a statement.
Leidiger won his 2010 race with 65 percent of the vote in his heavily Republican district.
