Report: Va.’s GOP LG Nominee Has A History Of Money And Legal Troubles

E.W. Jackson, the Virginia Republican lietenent governor nominee who has made national headlines for such incendiary comments as comparing Planned Parenthood to the KKK, has a history of money and legal troubles that date back thirty years, according to the Washington Examiner.

On his campaign website, Jackson lists starting a non-profit organization to help young people avoid gangs, drugs and violence as one of his accomplishments. But the organization, the Examiner reports, was shuttered by the Virginia State Corporation Commission in 2012 after failing to pay state fees in 2008, 2011 and 2012.

Last year, Jackson was forced to pay taxes he owed to the City of Chesapeake after the city sued him for the money. And in 2007, a couple sued him for failing to pay rent on space leased by his Chesapeake church.

In 1993, Jackson filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, according to federal court records obtained by the Examiner. He owed nearly three dozens creditors including, city, state and federal tax collection agencies, his law school alma mater, Harvard University, several banks, a church, a hospital, realtors and the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
