Just days after announcing his reelection bid, Mayor William Lantigua of Lawrence has been hit with a $5,475 tax lien for allegedly failing to pay state income tax in 2011.
The state Revenue Department filed the lien against Lantigua last week, the embattled mayor’s latest misstep in a three-year tenure dogged by controversy. The agency took the step after Lantigua did not respond to several notices over at least six months, a spokeswoman said.

Third world leadership.
no problem, he'll still get re-elected, this is normal for this state.
One of the polital reporters on the news last night made a comment that if the city of Lawrence actually re-elects this guy than they will finally be getting what they really deserve. Priceless.
Buddy Cianci cut a few corners in his day but, ultimately, was responsible for the resurgence of Providence. I'm not aware of what's going on in Lawrence but I hope that Lantigua is at least improving the lives of the people there. Doesn't make what he's accused of right but at least he'd be doing his job.
James Michael would be proud of this Hispanic guy from the Caribbean. . .
