Tariq El-Shabazz, a Democrat running for Philadelphia District Attorney, is starting his candidacy with questions arising over his tax debts.
Philly.com reported that there are more than $190,000 in tax liens filed against him. Mr. El-Shabazz has stated that he is in a payment agreement with the IRS but has refused to reveal how much he is currently paying or how much of the liability he has paid off.
Dealing with Federal Tax Liens and other tax liabilities can be quite an ordeal for an individual, but the concern that many reporters have is whether he will be able to manage the $52 million budget for the DA’s office.
