Still another republican, caught breaking the law...

The Associated Press


HUNTINGTON -- A former West Virginia state senator pleaded guilty Tuesday to federal mail and tax fraud charges.
Lisa Smith admitted that she failed to pay the Internal Revenue Service more than $86,000 withheld for taxes from her employees' wages in 2002. The Putnam County Republican ran in-home health care companies, among other businesses.

Smith also said she mailed a false campaign finance statement to state election officials while running for her Senate seat in 2002.

Smith resigned from the Senate in 2004....MORE...

5. Here is more on the story...
Former Putnam senator pleads guilty

Smith, husband admit failure to pay taxes

Snip...

According to the plea agreement, Lisa Smith and her husband, Mark Smith, have owned and run two home health-care companies, Elite Professional Health Associates Inc. and Elite Health Care Inc., in Putnam County since 1990.

Although they correctly reported the taxes they withheld from their employees’ wages, they failed to turn most of that money over to the Internal Revenue Service on at least two occasions, according to the plea agreement.

Lisa Smith’s plea acknowledged the failure to pay more than $86,000 in taxes for the third quarter of 2002, while Mark Smith accepted responsibility for the failure to pay almost $62,000 for the same period in 2004.

Prosecutors maintain that the couple siphoned more than $79,000 in 2002 and $200,000 in 2004 into their personal bank accounts in order to pay for personal loans owed by Lisa Smith. MORE...

6. Just shows...
why it's SO much better and more efficient for health care organizations to be run as private businesses than by government.

12. This Bonnie and Clod couple were living at the foot of the cross too
Edited on Wed Aug-08-07 05:51 AM by Hubert Flottz
They are busted for several other things besides the stealing from the employees and the IRS. Putnam county is an area of the state where poverty is fairly uncommon and this lady fooled all the rich and famous pubs(suckers)in the area, big-time. There's a big trial going on in that county now in which a hospital is in big twouble, because one of their main ace in the hole doctors, who had done over a hundred operations in his relatively short tenure there, wasn't even a real doctor after all. The guy operated on people for the wrong things and everything else. They tracked him down in another state using a different name and operating on people there.

George Bush might very well end up being a republican brain surgeon, in an unsuspecting Putnam county, if he becomes unemployed soon.

16. Right...like the coal baron types who don't think THEY should pay
Edited on Wed Aug-08-07 06:32 AM by Hubert Flottz
taxes, yet they want to run their overweight coal trucks over the bridges you and I pay for and tear them up, so that you and I can pay for the repairs and replacements of the roads and bridges. Under the GOPstapo government we have now, the BIG repiggy campaign contributors have got it made. I'd scream and whine and beg, long hard and continuous too, if I were the big corporate "have more" and somebody tried to make me pay my fair share.

17. I don't think I ever met a republicon that didn't suck one thing or...
another. Look at the horribly deformed, caved in, sucker jaws on Orin Hatched and Arlen Sphincter. Sucking is a repig family value, a way of life! They all are lined up like little yellow streaked, sinn-thetic rubber lipped, ugly ducklings, to kiss BushCo's primate asses 24/7. If George ever had to scratch his ass he's poke all their little piggy eyes out.

Edited on Wed Aug-08-07 07:23 AM by Hubert Flottz
I hope the country don't end up paying for that mistake again, in 2008.

Edit...The GOP can outsuck a black hole. Maybe we should change the name of Dumbya's state to Vor-Texass?
