I guess they made him an offer he couldn't refuse.
I heard George Holt is going to plead guilty to a misdemeanor and restitution to settle the sales tax issue surrounding his diner.

This website makes money off of a depraved and idiotic conspiracy theory.
Will he resign the Legislature??
He should. I wouldn't want anyone representing me who would fiddle with his books. If it was a misdemeanor there must of been some "tampering" involved. If you were just behind on paying they would set a payment schedual and you'd pay a penality.Originally Posted by FJB
Taking collected sales taxes without paying it and hiding it is stealing. Stealing from the people you represent.
I think all the rest of the legislature should vote to have him removed from his seat.

George Holt pled guilty today to two misdemeanor counts of filing fraudulent sales tax returns. The returns were for 2003 & 2004. The amount involved was over $19,500 which translates to over $37,000 with interest and penalties. The Judge already stated he will not impose jail time, even though up to 2 years is possible. Holt must pay the $37,000 prior to his sentencing hearing. According to Frank Clark, Holt’s job as a legislator is not affected by the misdemeanor counts.
The path is clear
Though no eyes can see
The course laid down long before.
And so with gods and men
The sheep remain inside their pen,
Though many times they've seen the way to leave.

Agreed, if there's any shame it's that he got caught. He'll be reelected.Originally Posted by biker
The difference between taxes and robbery is the mode of coercion.
I agree that Holt should step down. However, I have no idea what your point is? I will give you the benefit of the doubt and not think the obvious motive. But you should explain.Originally Posted by biker
Erie County needs a new DA.According to Frank Clark, Holt’s job as a legislator is not affected by the misdemeanor counts.
I heard him on the radio basically defending George and how this wasn't related I guess you would say to his duties as a legislator.

Democrat = no jail, no resignation, sure to be re-elected
If it weren't for the United States Military, there would be NO United States of America !
I think they tried, convicted and hanged Saddam in the time it took Clark to investigate Holt!Originally Posted by WNYresident
