The Town of Odon has settled a Tax Lein from the Federal Government dealing with unpaid withholding taxes left over from the town’s previous administration. According to a report in the Odon Journal, the failure of the Town of Odon to pay the Federal withholding taxes for employees occurred in 2013 and 2014 under the administration of former Town Clerk Beth Haseman. Current Odon Town Clerk, Mandy Wilz, told the Odon Town Council that the settlement with the Internal Revenue service called for the Town to pay $12,458.89 in back taxes plus additional interest and penalties of $3,482.39.
