Well, it is bad enough that Marble doesn't pay his local Washington County property taxes, but worse that he feigned ignorance when pressed by the Willamette Week.  This in light of his real estate law acumen.  Evidently, a mere four year oversight as a property tax delinquent.  Goes to character I guess, questionable for sure.  Couple this with civil actions filed against him within the past few years for collection of money.  Plaintiffs in actions against Marble have included the State of Oregon, a local bank and a collection company.  I am hopeful that there is a more thorough check of this fellow's background and some additional follow-up on whether he has corrected his four year property tax delinquency.
