U.S. NATIONAL NEWS
from Eyewitness News Online Headline goes here May 10, 2008 4:47 PM NEW YORK Federal prosecutors are investigating the Reverend Al Sharpton over his taxes. Government records obtained by The Associated Press indicate that the civil rights leader and his business entities owe nearly 1.5 million dollars in overdue taxes and associated penalties. Sharpton has emerged as one of the nation's most prominent civil rights leaders, and he calls the investigation government "retaliation." He tells the AP that it's an attempt to intimidate him and his colleagues. Over the past year, Sharpton's lawyers and the staff of his nonprofit group, the National Action Network, have been negotiating with the federal government over the size of his debt. They dispute the government's figure. The group has also been trying to pay off tens of thousands of dollars it owes for failing to properly maintain workers compensation and unemployment insurance. |
