NEW YORK, Aug. 5 (UPI) -- New York City's attempt to claim $627 million in back taxes from Lehman Brothers in bankruptcy court does not imply lax procedures, a city official said.
Although court filings claim Lehman Brothers fell behind on its taxes in 1996, "we have vigorously pursued the taxes owed by Lehman and other financial-services firms," Sam Miller, an assistant commissioner at the city's Department of Finance told The New York Times Wednesday.
