An attorney who already faces charges of attempting to steal the identity of her former law partner's husband was charged yesterday with a felony tax fraud count. The lawyer, Bonnie Strunk, entered a not guilty plea through her attorney, Christine Cook. Ms. Strunk was allowed to remain free on her own recognizance by Supreme Court Justice John Brunetti in Onondaga County.
Ms. Strunk, 61, faces a third-degree count of tax fraud for allegedly failing to file a personal income tax return for 2008, with a tax liability of $11,777. She also faces grand larceny and identity theft charges for allegedly stealing some $17,000 in September and October by appropriating the name of the husband of her long-time law partner, Faith Seidenberg, to open a credit card account.
Ms. Strunk, Ms. Seidenberg and her husband, Dr. Robert Seidenberg, are veteran advocates for civil rights in the Syracuse area. Robert Seidenberg, a psychiatrist, was the first male president of a local chapter of the National Organization for Women. Ms. Strunk, a high-profile gay-rights proponent, ran unsuccessfully for county district attorney as a Liberal in 1976.

And soon to become a prominent liberal politician, right?
I'm bored so can't we change the stage setting to stifle boredom?
