Dispatch:
Grove City's finance department is at the center of a police probe, and its assistant director has been placed on paid leave, after authorities learned that the city failed to pay more than a half-million dollars in withheld federal taxes.
The investigation began after city officials received a Dec. 9 letter from the IRS demanding five payments that were missed since 2007. The original balance has nearly doubled with penalties and interest, adding up to $685,000....
....The payments demanded by the IRS date to 2007, but Wasylik said he has seen letters from the federal government as far back as 2001 threatening the city with penalties for failing to file withheld taxes. That means the city could owe more than $685,000, but Wasylik did not know whether the IRS would collect on missed filings from before 2007....
It sounds like this will take awhile to fix.
* Republican Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey quickly left his state just before the blizzard hit. Christie and his family are vacationing at Disney World. By the way, the NJ Lt. Gov. is also out of their state on a vacation. Don't these people know that weather hits when you are least prepared? Don't this Republicans understand that they have to "schedule" their vacations so that they don't overlap?
