I am loving this whole tread. I never knew that the Brenner's were so crooked and evasive. I am thankful for the Gazette bringing this to my attention. The First Amendment will stand and the Brenner's will fall. We do not need, or want, crooked zealots in our government!

They are both disgraceful. They should both be responsible and RESIGN!!! You fight to lower taxes and refuse to pay the ones you owe. Crooks. Cart those two off to jail.

Although you may have great disdain for the newspaper, the face remains that SaraMarie Brenner, wife of State Representative Andrew Brenner, did not remit taxes she collected from employees. She's a thief, and a liar.

[Other Taxes]

Wonder if State Rep Andrew Brenner and Mrs. Brenner paid all of the other taxes that were due on their business.

There's Ohio Unemployment, Powell City and the R.I.T.A (Ohio Regional Income Tax Authority) that might be due on the payroll they had as employers; do you think they are delinquent on all those too? What about Delaware County property taxes?

They need to be fit for orange jumpsuits. They could work off some hours cleaning the highways, or they could spend some time incarcerated. The very fact that they continue to try and skirt the system and deprive the state of necessary fund is disgusting.

Brenner faces new tax lien
DUSTIN ENSINGER

Staff Writer

For the fourth time in the past two years, a tax lien has been filed against a local busi­ness owned and oper­ated by a Pow­ell City Coun­cil member.

As of ear­lier this week, Pres­tige Music Stu­dios Inc., owned by Sara Marie Bren­ner, the wife of State Rep. Andrew Bren­ner (R-Powell), was fac­ing a new tax lien filed by the Ohio Bureau of Work­ers’ Com­pen­sa­tion in the amount of $959.02, accord­ing to records on file with the Delaware County Recorder’s Office.

The liens are a result of unpaid work­ers com­pen­sa­tion pre­mi­ums for the period cov­er­ing July 1, 2011 to Dec. 31, 2011.

Under Ohio law, all employ­ers are required to “have an active work­ers’ com­pen­sa­tion pol­icy to insure cov­er­age for those employ­ees against a work­place injury.”

Sara Marie Bren­ner is listed as the company’s CEO and president.

After being con­tacted by the Gazette and ques­tioned about the unpaid pre­mi­ums, Sara Marie Bren­ner stated in an email that she was unaware of the most recent tax lien filed against her com­pany. She indi­cated the lien was likely a cler­i­cal error and asked the Gazette to pro­vide her with addi­tional time to sort the issue out, which she was granted.

On Fri­day, Sara Marie Bren­ner informed the Gazette through email that after speak­ing with Bureau of Work­ers’ Com­pen­sa­tion offi­cials that the sit­u­a­tion “was a mix up as I’d thought orig­i­nally.” She asked that the Gazette “not run an arti­cle about a mix up that is clearly now resolved.”

“Even if you include ‘my side of the story,’ it won’t be viewed that way — peo­ple will think there’s some­thing here and that that’s why you ran with it,” she fur­ther stated in the email.“It will only lead to my expe­ri­enc­ing fur­ther undue harassment.”

To prove her point that the lien was the result of a “mix up,” Sara Marie Bren­ner also attached a fax from the Bureau of Work­ers’ Com­pen­sa­tion that indi­cated that the lien “is in the process of being released.”

How­ever, Bureau of Work­ers’ Com­pen­sa­tion spokes­woman Melissa Vince informed the Gazette Fri­day that the release is due to a pay­ment made on Thurs­day. She also said that she could not find any evi­dence to indi­cate that the lien was orig­i­nally filed due to a cler­i­cal error or mix up.

Sara Marie Bren­ner did not return a call on Fri­day request­ing com­ment, but did issue a writ­ten state­ment through email.

“I want to sin­cerely thank the Delaware Gazette for bring­ing this to my atten­tion! Until they did, I wasn’t per­son­ally aware,” she said.“This for­mer busi­ness’ BWC account is now closed as of (Dec. 31, 2011), as we had noti­fied them of pre­vi­ously. With the assis­tance of the Gazette’s excel­lent staff, I was able to get the infor­ma­tion I needed and han­dle the prob­lem promptly. I hope that the paper and its staff will con­tinue to help local busi­nesses with their endeavors.”

The tax lien, which was filed on July 14, is the fourth that the Bren­ners’ com­pany has faced in the past 12 months.

The first was filed last year by the fed­eral gov­ern­ment on July 11 and cov­ered unpaid pay­roll taxes for each quar­ter of 2010 in the amount of $42,121.53.

On that same day, a cer­tifi­cate of release of a fed­eral tax lien was filed with the Delaware County Recorder’s Office after the com­pany paid $17,157.97, cov­er­ing the liens filed for the first two quar­ters of 2010.

A sec­ond fed­eral lien was filed against the com­pany on Sept. 1, 2011, in the amount of $16,601.44 for unpaid pay­roll taxes for the first quar­ter of 2011.

Just 13 days later, the fed­eral gov­ern­ment filed yet another tax lien against the com­pany. The lien cov­ered $12,266.14 in unpaid pay­roll taxes for the sec­ond quar­ter of 2011.

Sara Marie Bren­ner said that those tax liens are in the process of being released.

“I’ve been given doc­u­men­ta­tion to file for the lien releases,” she said in an email.

Thanks for the article...it definitely speaks for itself...sheesh

[When Will It End]

The Brenners,The Jordans,Tommy Thompson, James Ward, Walter Davis The Spriz, Jan Antonopolus,Todd Hanks, Sheriff Al,Peek A boo in the office Obrien, Jon Peterson , etc. The list just makes me puck that such reprobates could be elected and condoned/endorced by their respective parties.

[Newspaper]

I really enjoy how the Brenner's just love the newspaper while it covers nothing but Republicans lying and cheating. Here are some things the Gazette has not covered.

Jordan saying at a voter's forum he would stick around for further questions and then slipping out the side door under his wife's skirt!

Commissioners selling off water taps to developers for a fraction of their value. Screwing over taxpayers.

Brenner's and it seems like half the county GOP not paying their taxes.(Are they all related to Mitt Romney?)

Mental illness like symptoms running rampant in the GOP Central Committee.

GOP not supporting incumbents who actually support a quality candidate over thieves and liars.

Now that Ms. Brenner isn't seeing some Publisher run out of town for failing to follow blindly the GOP leadership, she thinks the Gazette is a bastion of liberalism. It doesn't even know how to spell liberalism.

Oh Sara, please give us a break and you and Andy take your freak show somewhere else. Like maybe a federal prison! Or perhaps move into the chicken and rabbit farm with the Jordans.

The Newspaper does not always get it right, but they seem to be right about the Brenners. I hope more happens than them being embarrassed into paying their fair share. Too bad elected officials get away with depriving the community they claim to love. Scoundrels.

[Say it aint so]

I can't believe the Gazette hasn't printed an apology to Sara Marie! Do they know how important she is!!! She had her followers demand they do so, didn't the Gazette hear the demands of both those followers! This is Sara Marie Brenner people, podcast superstar..oops, I mean radio star! The Gazette should be ashamed to treat our local tax cheater this way, ashamed I say!

Wow. I am so impressed with her twitter campaign. It was very effective. Thank you media raven for flexing your massive...muscle?

[Burned Up]

As a former client of Prestige Music Studios/The Music Lessons Company (hmm...I wonder why she had to change the name) I am not at all surprised by this news and am frankly shocked that she's still in business. She has what I'm sure most would consider less than ethical business practices and her costumer service skills are more than lacking. She places clients of the studio on her and Andy's political mailing lists without their permission. When asked to be taken off of these mailing lists you are met by a barrage of condescending, aggressive emails (because she can't be bothered to actually speak with her clients). She is snide and rude to anyone who dares to challenge her in her when she is clearly wrong in her business (and apparently all of the endeavors she undertakes). The quality of instructors she has working for her is staggering. They are all very nice and highly educated and deserve much better than what I could only imagine they are subjected to working for her. My son loved every second of his lessons but in the end I could not take the constant idiocy from Sara. I just hope the Gazette and other local papers run more articles like this to show the Brenner's for the good-for-nothing, lowlife, cheats that they really are!

[LOL]

This is the best part of the story. Clerical error my ass. What a liar! Did she really think that the Gazette writer is so lazy that he wouldn't pick up the phone and call to verify her BS story? Burned again, SMB.

[duh huh]

A tip of the hat to the DELAWARE GAZETTE for informing the voting public of this disgraceful performance by Mrs Brenner. You can try to distort the truth in many ways but it will out! The mission of the DCRP CC should be to find TRUE republicans to run for office not these sham republicans they now have. It is the duty of REAL republicans in Delaware County to quit accepting and electing these BOZOS!!!

[duh huh]

To the Gazette- Please stay on top of this story. Have the previous liens been released? If so when? Are there other liens which have not been reported? Who else does this company/ owners owe money to? Please don't stop on this.

I know it took Prestige more than 2 months to refund the money that they owed me from over charging me. Actually they never refunded me...I had to dispute the charge with my credit card company. When Sara was alerted to the dispute she asked me to cancel the dispute so we could settle the dispute without a reversal because it would cost her money. Yea right!! She had months to settle it without the dispute being filed and she refused. I was a client for years and paying $100+ a month I expected to be treated a little better. I am SURE she owes more people that have done business with her less than reputable music lessons company, money.
