- NJ.com reported this morning that the popular New Jersey banquet facility The Brownstone, which was featured prominently on the Real Housewives of New Jersey, owes $381,179.00 in back property taxes from 2014-2015.
- The banquet facility is owned by Albert Manzo, husband of former Real Housewife of New Jersey Caroline Manzo.
- The banquet saw its property taxes double in one year from $70,000 to $143,000 after the city reassessed the venue's value.
- The investigation gets zanier as Albert Manzo is now the Deputy Mayor of Paterson, NJ after the mayor, Joey Torres, was indicted for corruption. Torres appointed Manzo the deputy mayor right before the charges came down.
- The investigation also revealed that the Manzo's owe the state of NJ $208,000 in back state taxes and also $37,000 in civil suit judgments.
- The Manzo's previously owed $110,000 in back taxes for 2004-2005 and took them seven years to pay it off.
