Dodd boosts value of cottage

Hartford (AP) – The value of Sen. Christopher Dodd’s vacation cottage in Ireland shows the value of the property has more than doubled to nearly $660,000.

The seaside home, located in County Galway, is valued on Dodd’s new financial disclosure report at between $500,000 and $1,000,000. It was listed at between $100,001 and $250,000 on Dodd’s 2007 financial disclosure report.

An estimate by a real estate agent in Ireland places the value at about $660,000, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

The appraisal says the property would likely fetch 470,000 euros on the open market. That equates to about $660,000 at today’s exchange rate.

Bryan DeAngelis, a Dodd spokesman, says Dodd and his wife made a good faith effort to get an updated value of the property to adhere to the Senate’s financial disclosure rules.

Dodd's cottage in Ireland - more like place to flee when America falls apart,
I wonder how many more politicians have "cottages" in Europe.
$660,000 - that's worth than most houses here!

The scum has a hand in the health care now. I hope the whole thing goes down the drain with him. I don't believe they are telling the truth about the plan even after Obama's little make believe town hall meeting yesterday. What a phoney !

He cannot be trusted. He is a first class liar! These campaign commercials that have been airing are very annoying. Obama will be sorry.

Wish my property values would triple in one year. Obviously something wrong. An ethics committee meeting is called for. He learned well the lessons his father taught him.
