Yellow Coach Seeks Tax Relief to Preserve School Bus Runs
Yellow Coach Lines, Inc. seeks relief from a $244,000 federal tax lien to restore operating revenue for school bus routes in Pittsfield. Counsel Andrew Campoli said loan and revenue from franchise operations are insufficient to cover payrolls and expenses, noting the IRS currently receives school contract income. He warned that without the contract, the company risks shutdown as payroll and operating costs exceed daily revenue.
