Clarification and corrections

The $29,000 IRS penalty mentioned in last week's report on the Cathlamet Town Council meeting was actually for not sending in copies of employees W-2 forms to Social Security. Taxes were paid, employees just didn’t get credit for hours worked and wages for their future social security payments, according to Clerk/Treasurer Kerrie McNally. The incident occurred in 2011 under a different administration in Town Hall.
