Deadbeat judge — hounded by IRS, making $190,258 a year
The IRS has slapped Brewer with seven liens — two filed as recently as last year — seeking payment of a total of $227,559 in personal income taxes while Brewer was an attorney in private practice between 1997 and 2010, the year the Illinois Supreme Court appointed him to a vacant seat on the Cook County bench.
“I’m a good guy,” the judge says. “I’m not trying to cheat anybody out of anything. I’m trying to battle them as I can. I’m not saying I don’t owe them anything. I thought I owed them about $50,000 . . . I pay my tax religiously.
