The Sin of Snipes, Replayed: Mayor Pleads Guilty to Failing to File Tax Return
The mayor of Mount Vernon, N.Y., just north of Manhattan, has pleaded guilty to failing to file corporate and personal income tax returns. Failing to file tax returns is the same crime for which Hollywood film star Wesley Snipes famously was convicted and for which he spent nearly three years in federal prison.
Mayor Ernest D. Davis, 76, faces up to two years in prison as a result of his plea agreement.
