Marion Barry Fails To File His Taxes Again
Another chapter in the saga that is Marion Barry’s legal woes:
D.C. Council member Marion Barry (D-Ward 8) has again failed to file his tax returns.
The former District mayor has not submitted federal or city tax forms for 2007—the second instance in which he has not filed required returns while on probation for tax offenses, said two sources familiar with the situation.
Two years ago, federal prosecutors failed to convince a federal judge that Barry should be jailed for violating the terms of his probation, which was ordered in 2006, because he did not file 2005 tax returns. The probation expires in March.
Barry declined last night to discuss the matter or say when he might file his taxes.
Sadly, this actually sort of qualifies him to be in the Obama administration.
