LEDGER LIVE TEAS UP HALL MANSION

Hedge Fund manager George Hall’s $12 million Rumson mansion – or more precisely, a federal tax loophole that grants people in Hall’s field of work a sweet income-tax bargain – is harshing the mellow for kayaker and Star-Ledger video commentator Brian Donohue.

In Monday’s edition of Ledger Live, host Donohue takes aim at the tax loophole, and finds a Tea Party leader who agrees with him that the break doesn’t make sense, even though the national Tea Party has been blocking closure of the loophole.

The clip also features video from the raucous Tea Party shoutdown of Congressman Frank Pallone – and a woman in a wheelchair – at a town hall meeting held at the Red Bank Middle School in September, 2009.
