An associate of the Rev. Al Sharpton who is trying to open a glitzy upstate casino is an accused tax deadbeat — joining another pal of the preacher and the rev’s own National Action Network as targets of tax collectors.

Alabama authorities claim that Greenetrack and its CEO, Luther Winn, Jr., owe $72 million in sales taxes and interest from electronic bingo game revenue in its betting facilities in that state.

Winn, who serves on the network’s board, is the lead partner in the bid to open a massive 140-acre Grand Hudson casino resort near Stewart Airport in Orange County.

The New York State Gaming Commission is considering approving two casinos in the lower Hudson Valley-Catskills region.

Financial viability is a key factor in determining whether the state issues a casino license.

Rachel Noerdlinger, the former press secretary to Sharpton and the NAN who is now city First Lady Chirlane McCray’s embattled chief-of-staff, owed $28,190 in federal tax liens. She has come under fire for not properly revealing the liability on her financial-disclosure statement.

Al is no "Rev.", and neither is Jesse Jackson. Neither man has completed divinity school, had a church, or had a congregation. Al was "ordained" at age 10 by a DC preacher, yet both men perpetuate the myth. They are both professional pot stirrers who make a living by keeping the races angry at each other. Both men are shams and do not deserve the respect the real title of "Rev." confers to those who have earned it.

Time to dust whip out the Race Card. Don’t shakedown without it.

They’ll never be held to account,
yet the middle class small business owner who might vote (R) next election will be pursued and shut down by the IRS over a $100 “mistake”.
