Democrat New Hampshire House Rep. Thomas Katsiantonis is charged with trying to cheat the state of New Hampshire by refusing to pay, what’s the term, “his fair share.”
(Girard at Large) As alleged in the complaints, Mr. Katsiantonis owned and operated both Grand Slam Pizza and Tommy K’s Restaurant and Bar. The theft charges allege that Mr. Katsiantonis, as owner and operator of Grand Slam Pizza, stole over $277,000 in monthly meals and rental tax payments from June 1, 2011, through December 31, 2016. As owner and operator of Tommy K’s Restaurant and Bar, stole over $146,000 in such payments from May 1, 2015, through December 31, 2016. Mr. Katsiantonis is also charged with crimes related to his attempt to evade business profits taxes resulting in additional tax due and owing, committed during a recent Department of Revenue Administration audit of Grand Slam Pizza, and related to false statements made on Tommy K’s liquor license renewal application.
While he was giving his business an unofficial and unapproved tax break, he was also donating cash to local Democrat candidate campaigns. Most if not all of them oppose cutting any New Hampshire taxes including those for small business owners so Democrat candidates who are potential beneficiaries of untaxed revenues should feel the urge to return them.
They may need your encouragement to divest themselves of any association fiscal or otherwise with a Democrat accused of refusing to pay their fair share.
Additional money trails or in-kind contributions will most certainly exist. Feel free to expose any associations you may be aware of in comments.
Katsiantonis is also a Manchester Ward 8 Alderman.
