UPDATE: GOP Representative Cory Mills of Florida is facing serious allegations of failing to pay $85,000 in back rent for a property in Washington D.C. Mills claims the failure to pay was due to a processing error, directly responding to accusations from independent journalist Roger Sollenberger.
In a statement made on Monday, October 23, 2023, Mills defended himself against the claims that surfaced after Sollenberger published court filings revealing the substantial debt. Mills criticized the reporting, stating, “Roger, I…” but did not elaborate further.
The implications of this situation are significant, as it raises questions about Mills’ financial responsibilities and transparency. With the housing crisis affecting many Americans, the revelation of such a large sum in unpaid rent draws attention to the struggles faced by both renters and landlords alike.
As of now, Mills has not disclosed specific details regarding the alleged processing error that led to the missed payments. The political ramifications could be severe, especially as Mills is currently campaigning for re-election.
Next steps: Observers are watching closely to see how this will impact Mills’ political standing and whether further legal actions could arise from the court filings. This situation continues to develop, and constituents will be eager to hear more about Mills’ plans to address the outstanding debt.
Stay tuned for updates on this urgent matter as it unfolds.
