The former Democratic leader for the Town of North Hempstead was arrested on federal tax evasion charges Tuesday, adding to the long list of counts he is facing in Nassau County court.
Gerard Terry, an attorney who held numerous local government titles in addition to his former party leadership role, was charged with tax evasion and obstructing the administration of internal revenue laws.
“The defendant knowingly and willfully refused to pay his federal income taxes,” said Robert Capers, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. “That he did so while earning hundreds of thousands of dollars from government and civic positions only makes his conduct more offensive.”
Prosecutors said the 62-year-old Roslyn man failed to pay more than $1.4 million in federal taxes since 2000 despite earning more than $250,000 annually working for the town, the Nassau County Board of Elections, the Long Beach Housing Authority, the North Hempstead Housing Authority, the Freeport Community Development Agency, the Roosevelt Public Library, the Village of Port Washington and the Village of Manorhaven. . .

Shocking not
The Rooskies set him up.
Wow. The word “democrat” is used and everything.
Another ‘RAT tax deadbeat. So what else is new.
The Long Island Press is still around?? I used to deliver their papers as a pre-teen here in Queens NY back in the early 70s. I thought they went out of business decades ago. Haven’t seen their paper anywhere around here in 30-40 years.
There are others, who should be doing time in the cross bar hotel, for the same reason.
Al “Chip Ole” Sharpton for one. Maybe now that our side will be running the IRS, they won’t be afraid to go after him.
I guess he didn't have a foundation to launder money through.
I hope no one gets scared of the race card that he will throw at them. 😀
