Jon Runyan's tax deduction

Philly.com reports former Philadelphia Eagle Jon Runyan, a Republican candidate for NJ's 3ed congressional district, is getting a break on his property taxes for his lavish Mount Laurel homestead - thanks in part to his four donkeys. Runyan paid $57,000 in taxes last year on five of his acres, which contain his home. But on most of his property - 20 acres - he paid $468 in taxes, according to township records. On his application for a farmland assessment in July, Runyan said he uses five acres as grazing land for his donkeys and 15 for timber, harvesting seven cords of firewood that he sold for $810.

Chris Russell, Runyan's campaign manager said, "He considers himself a steward of his land, and that's what farmland assessment is supposed to do."

So who was "stewarding" his land while the Jets defense was knocking him down on his very ample tush?
