NEW: State Rep. John McCauley Pleads Guilty to Conspiracy & Filing False Tax Returns

Friday, September 14, 2012

 

Retiring State Rep. John McCauley, Jr. and William L’Europa pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and one count of filing false tax returns in federal court, the U.S. Attorney’s office announced today.

According to the documents filed with the court, McCauley and L’Europa allegedly underreported business receipts for tax years 2007 – 2010 by nearly $1.8 million dollars, resulting in the underpayment of federal taxes to the Internal Revenue Service of more than $500,000.

According to the signed plea agreements, McCauley and L’Europa must file accurate, amended federal tax returns for tax years 2007 – 2011.

McCauley served in the General Assembly for 22 years before announcing that he wasn’t seeking re-election this year. He is the father of Deer Tick front man John McCauley III.

Democrat, Democrat, Democrat. That is approximately how many time the media would have used the word Republican if this disgraced pol's party affiliation was other than it is.

the frightening part is how can you possibly do soemthing like this and think you are going to get away with it.

and this type of thinking is making decisions for the state??

no wonder the state is a mess.

It is amazing how Democrats don't want to pay taxes. How do they expect to pay for all the entitlements they offer to the non-producers in our society?
