The veteran NFL lineman is retiring to seek the Republican nomination for a 3rd District House seat, now held by first-term Democrat John Adler.
Runyan owns a 20-acre spread in Mount Laurel and, on the 5 acres around his house, his tax bill last year was $57,000. On the other 15 acres, it was just $468 because he gets a break for registering it as farmland.
Tax records show he uses five acres for four donkeys and 15 for timber. Last year, he harvested seven cords, selling them for $810.
Runyan's campaign manager says he's doing nothing illegal and sees himself as a steward of the land.
