Oakland Mayor Dellums & Wife Owe IRS $239K
Oh oh. Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums owes the IRS in back taxes. Lots and lots of back taxes.
According to CBS 5, "Alameda County records show the IRS has placed a lien on the couple's property that claims they failed to pay $239,000 in federal income taxes from 2005 to 2007." The lien, it seems, was filed Oct. 14.
"We owe taxes," the Dellums tell the Oakland Tribune. "The issue is being dealt with, and there is a plan that we have laid out, and it will be dealt with as expeditiously as possible. Period."
Dellums earns somewhere around $184,000 a year as mayor.
