By Tiffany Griffin

DETROIT (AP) — The home of Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy, who's filed felony charges against Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, is in foreclosure.

County records cited by The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press say that as of July, Worthy owed more than $7,500 in back taxes and penalties on the house she bought in 2004 for $337,000.

Worthy, who's paid $154,521 a year, says a short sale of the 3,600-square-foot home is pending and there is an offer to buy it.

Worthy acknowledged in April that she had a federal tax liability secured by a lien on her home, and that the liability arose when she cashed in an IRA in 2003 to finance her campaign for prosecutor. She said at the time that she was making timely payments.

Last time I read the bible I didnt see the apart that states if you dont pay your property taxes armageddon cometh. She's just another person who can't pay her bills. Like how many other thousands of people in that current situation. Thumping the bible gets you nowhere. Thump the want ads.
