Los Angeles collected nearly $3 million from delinquent business taxpayers in the last four months, Los Angeles Controller Wendy Greuel has announced.

Greuel said the city now is trying to collect an additional $107 million in delinquent taxes from 126 scofflaws, and posted their names on the city's website.

Greuel said the city is taking legal action against many of the scofflaws, and also rescinding business permits for those who owe the city money.

She said the program to collect back taxes is critical at a time when the city has been forced to slash services because of a decline in revenue caused by the economic downturn.

Businesses that "pay their fair share of taxes should not bear the burden" of those that do not, Greuel said.

Every city, every county, every state and the feds have delinquent tax payers.

It's good to see someone doing something about it.

Yes, they should go after people that did not pay their taxes including the 40 million plus illegals working under the table and signing up for Welfare and Social Services.

Not only that, ELE, but those businesses that hire illegals paid under the table also cheat workman's comp and do not pay federal taxes on their illegal employees.

Great! Now it's time to seize EVERY SINGLE asset that illegals have and sell them to pay for their destruction to this country.
