As in ‘didn’t pay their bill of $9360 in school taxes’.
That would be Peco Liquor Store. The one run by Ed Mulvihill. You know, the guy who Deb Heffernan personally selected to succeed her in Dover, the guy who is the lobbyist for the small liquor stores, the guy who, although not an incumbent, is being propped up by the Musk-rat corporate lawyers.
From the County tax bill, he (they) hasn’t/haven’t paid their school tax bill since 2024, and, from the bill:
$131.41 $9,360.51
I’m not taking anything out of context. Here’s the County tax bill:

Oh, did I mention that this first-time candidate is being backed by the Musk-rats? I think I did. From Spotlight Delaware’s Campaign Finance Explorer.
For those scoring at home, or just reading the chart (shout-out to Keith Olbermann), that’s over $93K in corporate lobbying money flowing to the Mulvihill campaign. Just thought you’d like to know:

Literally this morning in Spotlight Delaware:
> Spotlight Delaware: Was there any particular issue that led you to run?
Ed Mulvihill: I hesitate to call it going viral, right? Because it’s Delaware, and there’s limited scope there. But we’re really loud about the property tax reassessment.
I’m a small business owner through and through, and the one thing I can’t stand, and again, this relates directly to some of the lobbying work we’ve done against, like, Total Wine and Costco, is when the big companies get breaks that the little guys don’t, and that is, like, my pet peeve.
The problem is that the underlying data that Tyler Technologies provided was flawed, and we see that now. So when you have these big, massive properties that saw huge, huge, huge assessment increases, which translates to millions of dollars in tax revenue loss, and the state and the county and the schools have to be revenue neutral, so that money has to come from somewhere. So in doing that split rate with underlying data that wasn’t good, it put this unfair burden on small business owners particularly.
Chase is paying a billion dollars less. How does this make sense? And so that was probably one of the issues that caught wind the most, I think. And it was a relatable issue because it has affected small businesses throughout the state. It affected residents throughout the state, and there’s been some work, some good work that’s been done to start to address that, and I think still more work that needs to be done.
This is supposed to be a defense? As in, ‘It’s not fair. That’s why I didn’t pay my taxes’?
Pretty much the definition of a tax cheat.
Small business tax delinquent. This is the less surprising thing I’ve seen today.
Is this more or less bad than forgetting the word substitute? Asking all my movement people out there.
Vote Rae Krantz. Huge opportunity here, don’t blow it on a small business weirdo hand-picked by the worst political operatives in the state. Simple as, one might say.
My OCD has kicked in again. Do you realize that the $93K of corporate cash the Musk-rats have kicked in is almost exactly TEN TIMES what Mulvihill’s liquor store owes in back school taxes ($9360)?
Just one more question for Ed before I go–do you encourage others to withhold their taxes from the Brandywine School District as well, or does this only apply to you?
Why would he skip out on paying taxes in the district his own kids are in?
Oh.. that’s right. They live in BSD, but ask him what school his kids go to…
