Don't you have to make money to evade taxes?

August 27, 2009

The Contra Costa (Calif.) Times reported that Harry Warren Green has been charged by a grand jury with four counts of aiding and abetting the preparation of a false tax return between 2000 and 2003. The indictment was officially announced Tuesday by U.S. Attorney Joseph Russoniello.

Green, 51, has been associated with several Contra Costa County newspapers since the late 1980s, including the Brentwood Bee, and the bi-weekly Clayton Pioneer, which was sold in 2003 to Tamara and Bob Steiner.

According to the indictment, Green is accused of reporting between $140,000 and $170,000 in gross annual income between 2000 and 2003. His actual publishing income was "substantially" greater, the indictment adds.
