5 Wide Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 "Erie County Legislator George A. Holt Jr. pleaded guilty Monday to two misdemeanor violations of New York's tax law, admitting he did not keep accurate records in 2004 and failed to hand over almost $20,000 in sales taxes collected at his Buffalo restaurant. With interest and penalties, he must repay the state $37,600 and expects to do so before his sentencing March 9. " http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20070109/1034333.asp
The Senator Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Pretty good deal, eh? The guy votes to increase the sales tax, then pockets the money with hopes that he doesn't get caught! 'Course, now that he's caught "red-handed" and convicted, he's all contrite and schitt. Yeah right. And no, I don't think I'll take that $20 re-election bet - this is the second time Fat Holt has been in trouble for tax evasion, and he got re-elected last time too! Nice $42K/year part-time gig, if ya can get it!
