FINGERS FINGERED
January 05, 2007
The Baseball Hall of Fame is no tax haven. Hall of Famer Rollie Fingers is reported to owe over $1.4 million in back taxes to Wisconsin from his time with the Milwaukee Brewers in the early 1980s.
Considering what baseball salaries back then, that's a big number for a state tax debt. Presumably much of it is interest and penalties. The press coverage doesn't say how the tax debt was figured, how it arose, or whether the amount owed is in dispute.
Hat Tip: the Political Madman. Don't Mess With Taxes also has coverage.
