In reply to the discussion: Ferguson judge behind aggressive fines policy owes $170,000 in unpaid taxes [View all]Revanchist
(1,375 posts)35. Well according to the article,
This is seven years of tax evasion based off joint returns so his wife's income is added to the equation. Also, don't forget that he's also drawing a salary as a prosecutor as well as owning a private practice, which he apparently owes employee taxes on in addition to his personal liabilities. Furthermore, the article states that he has already paid over $64 thousand in overdue taxes not included in the current total. Add those to the business taxes he didn't pay his total burden is over a quarter million, possibly closer to $300 thousand if not more since the only figure given for the business tax is "tens of thousands."

OP
How is he getting away with that? Takes a while to owe $170k in back taxes, doesn't it?
