The Other Barry

As in Marion, or if you like, "Mayor." Today, he was sentenced to three years of probation for tax evasion. The former mayor and current councilmember failed to file returns or report over $500,000 of income from 1999 to 2004, and winds up owing the IRS about $250,000 of unpaid taxes because he was "broke." In his blog, Post columnist Marc Fisher hit the nail on the head -- this is shameful.

Oh yeah, and let's not overlook Barry's other recent legal problems.
