Rep. Hilda Solis (pictured) seemed to be on the fast track to be Labor secretary … until it was revealed that her husband, Sam Sayyad, was in trouble with the Internal Revenue Service.
Her husband's liens for unpaid taxes have sidelined the nomination for now.
Solis' husband has now repaid $6,400 to settle the tax liens - but only after the nomination of Hilda Solis was announced.
The tax liens went back 16 years and were on the business that Solis listed as one of their main assets.
