Cabinet nominee Daschle did not pay $128,000 in taxes
Tom Daschle, nominated to be secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, did not pay more than $128,000 in taxes over three years, a revelation that poses a potential obstacle to his Senate confirmation.
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas, President Obama's nominee for secretary of health and human services, said she and her husband, Gary, had paid $7,040 in back taxes and $878 in interest after discovering ``unintentional errors'' in their tax returns for 2005-7.
