Rep. Long, Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You are

The "Newport Daily News" mentions this topic for the Second time. This time it was in Joe Baker's column.
"But if the accountant I spoke to is correct, Long should have been filing
annual returns on his business, even if he was not turning a profit. If true,
that means Long, who has been helping make state law for 26 years, broke the
law. To compound this offense, Long sits on the House Corporations Committee,
which oversees legislation relating to business.So either Long has been running
a profitable business for 18 years, breaking the law and was aware of it, or he
was running a business, barely surviving and was ignorant of the law, or he was
getting very poor advice on his tax preparations by his own accountant."
Rep. Long didn't make it to the "Cheers & Jeers" column.
