Thompson Facing Fines for Missing Taxes
The Democratic mayoral candidate faces fines penalty for missing the January 2013 filing
Democratic mayoral candidate Bill Thompson skipped the last filing with the state Board of Elections for his still-active 2009 mayoral account, and faces another fine in addition to a $1,052 penalty for missing the January 2013 filing, reported The Post.
“The committee was sued for the missing January report and assessed a civil penalty of $1,052.50, which is unpaid at this time,” said John Conklin, spokesman for the state Board of Elections.
“Enforcement action for the July Periodic will not start until next week. If they make the filing before then, no action will be taken against the committee.”
