| Marion Barry Fails to File Taxes Again |
| 2009-02-03 |
| Barry Again Fails to File Tax Forms also known as F6 on the Washington Post Macrowriter 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. Barry's current trouble stems from a guilty plea in 2005 to two misdemeanor tax charges. He admitted not filing federal or D.C. tax returns from 1999 through 2004 and said that he did not pay most of the taxes he owed on more than $500,000 in income. U.S. Magistrate Judge Deborah A. Robinson sentenced him to three years of probation in March 2006. |

| #6 The sad part is that few of the people in the DC Ward he represents bother to watch the news or read the paper (I wonder how many of them can actually read) and so they will vote him back into public office as a member of the DC City Council where he will waste another term doing absolutely nothing for the people who elected him except collect a paycheck. |

| #5 Too bad he's so along in his years. The One could have faced some serious competition for the nomination. Tax cheat that he is however, isn't there some administrative appointment still vacant? |
