Fairmont agrees to pay share in IRS settlement over bonds
Fairmont will contribute a proportionate share to an IRS settlement regarding bonds issued in 1988 to refinance sewer debt. Steptoe & Johnson, Butcher & Singer now Wheat First Union, and the city’s tax counsel are among those assisting. Investigators reviewed more than $3 million in bonds to probe possible illicit profits from markups. The sewer board previously voted in May to sign, but the payment amount remains undisclosed.
