Equal time for ads editorial on adverse effects

IRS probes Montoya taxes amid Senate ties and spillover probes
The IRS quietly conducts a two year audit of Senator Joseph Montoya D-NM as questions mount over past returns. Investigations probe possible involvement by Internal Revenue Commissioner Donald Alexander and Treasury officials in blocking or guiding the Montoya audit. Secretary William Simon pushed for the audit after reviews and interviews across 50 sources, with 1972 returns flagged for scrutiny and broader checks into 1974 1978 filings. Montoya says he will cooperate while promising a thorough inquiry into IRS harassment claims from California to New York.
