www.campusreform.org – Earlier this month, the Internal Revenue Service levied a $70,000 tax lien on MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry and her husband.

Harris-Perry, who is also a Presidential Chaired Professor at Wake Forest University, told the Winston-Salem Journal that she was aware of the debt she and James Perry owed. According to the newspaper, Harris-Perry said the pair paid $21,721 of the debt when they filed their taxes Wednesday and have an official payment plan with the IRS.

The MSNBC host told the Winston-Salem Journal that she plans to pay off the remainder of her tax lien debt to the IRS as soon as possible. According to her, she and her husband experienced personal problems that hindered them from paying off the debt sooner.
