An on-going criminal investigation by the New York City Department of Investigation and the New York County District Attorney's Office has shown the problem to exist in agencies other than the Police Department. Their outstanding work helped uncover a scam which has cost the City, State and Federal governments hundreds of thousands of dollars. And this practice will now be stopped. Because DOI's investigation is active, the Mayor would not discuss specific details. He assured New Yorkers that tax evasion would not be tolerated.
Every citizen has an obligation to pay taxes.
