The developer of the proposed mosque near Ground Zero has begun repaying the $270,000 he owes in property taxes.

Sharif el-Gamal walked into the Department of Finance payment center at 66 John St. on Wednesday and said he wanted to settle his tax bill, a department spokesman said.

He paid $35,449.17 -- 15 percent of what his real-estate firm, Soho Properties, owed -- and said that the remaining $236,327.81 would then be taken care of in eight quarterly payments.

“””$236,327.81 would then be taken care of in eight quarterly payments.”””


Ok, then in two years when you are current we will talk to you about building a mosque. Until then, forget about it.

How do these people get away with it?

I guess it just isn't worth it, worrying about paying debts owed on time.

No wonder we have a generation of "I don't have to pay my bills if I don't want to".

DemocRATS also make paying their back taxes a big “media” event when they get caught. It’s too bad these piggies don’t pay their taxes when nobody is looking. Maybe we wouldn’t need all these tax increases and new taxes.

That's a wild and crazy accusation! Where do you get that ... oh, wait ...

Capitol Hill employees owed $9.3 million in back taxes last year, data show

Capitol Hill employees owed $9.3 million in overdue taxes at the end of last year, a sliver of the $1 billion owed by federal workers nationwide but one with potential political ramifications for members of Congress.

The swamp. It's not drained.

Operative words — “has begun” — he wrote a check for 10 grand, and is moving on.

The more this stays in the media, the more the muslims will make themselves out to be victims. They are very very good at doing this.
