While Senators grapple with the nomination of Tom Daschle and his over $200,000 in tax errors, the White House lost a lower level nominee today because of tax issues.
Nancy Killefer, who was to be the White House watchdog on budget waste and duplicative programs, took her name out of consideration for a post at the Office of Management and Budget.
She had failed to pay employment taxes on household help back in 2005, which resulted in a lien for over $900 being placed on her Washington, D.C. home.
It's not clear if there is more to this story than just that. It has been reported that Killefer had two nannies and a personal assistant.
What follows is her letter to President Obama, released today by the White House.
