Since March, staffers working on the Democratic National Convention have been using the city of Denver's tax-free gas pumps to fill up their cars — and using its carwashes.

A dispute about this prompted city officials Tuesday to promise that the local host committee will reimburse the city at a market rate for gas — and pay state and federal taxes on the fuel.

It was never the intent of the city not to properly charge the Democrats for the fuel or its taxes, said Katherine Archuleta, mayoral liaison to the convention.

Some Denver City Council members became angry when Denver public-works employee Christine Downs told them Tuesday that the host committee will reimburse the city for the carwashes and tax-free fuel it is using for its fleet of vehicles.

Democrats love taxes, as long as they don't pay it themselves.

Dems are so generous with other people money. They never grow tired from taking it from them and spending it - and they always want more

"The City of Denver and the Denver Host Committee informed us late this afternoon about this matter and told us that the Denver Host Committee will pay all applicable taxes and fees related to their fuel contract, as they should," the DNCC said in a statement Tuesday.

Pretty much a non story.

Later in the day, the camp of GOP presidential hopeful John McCain issued a statement saying that Sen. Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, was "for a gas-tax holiday — as long as it benefits him and his political party."

Seems they are paying up after they got caught

However Kartherine Archuleta could be a liar.

The overall point is, Dems opposes a gas tax holiday for us, want to increase the current gas tax - yet they do not have their own people pay the tax

It seems the arrangement is for the DNC to pay all of the appropriate taxes on gas. To believe otherwise is an assumption.

You may be making an attempt to the gas tax holiday in respect to Democrats, but in this situtation the point is diluted.

Once caught any politican will say it was always their intent to pay all taxes
