Update: McGee Pays Overdue Car Taxes.

State Representative Brandon McGee (D-Hartford) paid his overdue car taxes Monday. The Hartford Democrat announced his candidacy for mayor last week and was quickly hobbled by the revelation, reported by The Courant, that he owed more than $1,000 in local motor vehicle taxes on two BMWs.

It appears that by failing to pay his car tax McGee was driving his 2013 BMW without the benefit of having it registered for the past two months. Connecticut does not allow a car to be registered if there are unpaid local taxes associated with it. McGee’s registration expired on December 4, 2018, according to Hartford officials.
