At the rate Senator Claire McCaskill’s (D-MO) is having to write checks to cover her growing tax fraud scandal, it may be time for her supporters to organize a fundraiser or two for the rainy days ahead.

Only days after announcing she owed $287,000 in back property taxes for a private plane she owns with her husband, McCaskill now says she really owes $320,000.

It’s amazing to see such a quick escalation.

Less than a week ago McCaskill went from one contested $1,200 political flight to refunding the U.S. Treasury for $88,000 in suspect trips.  Now the hit on her bank account is over $400,000 with seemingly no end in sight.
