I know Bill Sizemore. He is the Douglas Bruce of Oregon. I went to dinner with his wife and him when I was in Portland. Note the similarities-- a state AG using a docile grand jury to allege a pesky tax reformer’s misuse of a non-profit, charging people with income never received, and prosecuting those who already prepaid excess withholding for those years.

The court explicitly ruled that I could not tell the jury why I did not file my 2006, 2007, and 2008 Oregon income tax returns. The judge also ruled that I could not explain to the jury why I could not file the tax returns and also that I could not tell the jury that I paid more than $50,000 in estimated taxes to the state and to the IRS for the years in question.
