I talked to Gerard Parisi today and apparently yesterday the pizza store that he is a co-owner of got a call from state auditers that they were going to face a sales tax audit....I'm sure there is absolutely no connection between having his name mentioned as running for assembly in the morning paper and having his store audited in the afternoon.....

Could it be a 'just so rotterdam politics' thing? Sure....however there have been numerous businesses in rotterdam that have had sales tax audits. Other than the fact that it is a pain in the a$$ procedure, if the books are in order there is no problem. And with GP being a CPA, as someone mentioned in another post, I'm sure all will be ok....or at least should be.

Bumble, I don't think the issue is that GP can't get through an audit. You are correct, he is a CPA and I'm sure his books are accurate. The issue is the timing, this looks like politics as usual in Rotterdam and I would bet that GA or his errand boy Peter Guidorelli had something to do with this.

Didn't the Roman Villa have an audit a few years back when JG owned it?  Was the Roman Villa audit "random", or was that more political tom foolery?

Goes better than the state comptroller's?  You sound like Peeper (Diane Marco), Benny!  What exactly came from the comproller's audit?

My taxes have been audited before - and I was found to have ALWAYS been in full compliance with tax law.  Does that make me a bad person too?

Don't be too quick to look at GA as the culprit. Savage and the county Dems. have very long tentacles and are vivious.

Oh come on people. The state is going after many small businesses. They are 'hungry' for money. The accountant who does my taxes every year said that there are thousands of small businesses being audited. Perfect political timing? Perhaps. But I highly doubt it was some political covert mission.

I'm a superstitious man, and if some unlucky accident should befall him... then I'm going to blame some of the people in this room.

Looks to me like that unlucky accident has befallen GP. I don't think it's too far a stretch of the imagination to think this was the work of Guidorelli, Amedore, or Perhaps you John...

Sorry spidey, but I ain't JM!! Just a resident who choses to be informed. Which means I have 'informed opinions'! K?
Which means I, and others like myself, are much more effective than JM or any other politician out there.

Again....a political covert mission....palleeezzzzeee!

Well if anyone thinks GA is behind it, maybe it's more of a plot to go after Angelo than Gerard.  Afterall, Gerard stated in the Gazette he wasn't planning on a primary against GA.  At the end of the day, the real Rep enemy if you will is Angelo not Gerard.

http://www.dailygazette.com/news/2010/mar/06/0307_taxaudits/State, federal audits have both been increasing

NEW YORK STATE — With revenues declining and budgets tight, both the state and federal governments are making a greater effort to find and prosecute tax cheats.

The increased interest in enforcement and auditing predates the recession but has taken on greater urgency as governments look for ways to drum up cash.

The state and federal governments are both targeting wealthier individuals, although the overall audit rate for all taxpayers has risen.

Over the past few years, the number of active audit cases in New York has increased from around 700,000 per year to 1.2 million per year, according to the state Department of Taxation and Finance. This inventory consists of cases that are open for several years and others that are opened and closed within the same year.

As the Department of Taxation and Finance’s audit caseload has risen, so has the number of cases that are successfully closed each year. Over the last four years, the agency has gone from closing approximately 550,000 cases per year to 967,028 in 2008-09. This year the agency expects to close more than 1 million.

The department’s Office of Tax Enforcement, which includes audit, collections and criminal enforcements, has also grown, from 2,438 employees in 2006 to 3,029 employees this year.

In the summer of 2007, the department published a strategic plan laying out goals and priorities.

“We recognized that New York was really losing a lot of money in the tax gap — the gap between what is paid and what is owed,” said Bill Comiskey, deputy commissioner of tax enforcement for the state Department of Taxation and Finance. “There’s money that people don’t pay because they don’t realize it’s owed, but there’s also an unacceptable level of non-compliance.”

thanks PG, it may not be a plot by anyone other than the good old tax collectors trying to drum up some revenue!

Maybe the comments before about Sue Savage are true. Maybe it wasn't Amedore. Maybe it was the Dems because they know GP is a stronger candidate than GA and they are trying to get dirt on him. Then they just put in a call to their friends at the peoples' gazette to create a cover story...
