First reported Gates Revises Tax Return Based On Blog Post

I think it fair to say the first and perhaps only place this was reported was in my blog post of Saturday.  I dug the recipient’s links to Gates out via Google after seeing their names on Joe’s documentation that made me aware of them and we were both pursuing the story together, and individually at that point. It appears to have gotten someone’s attention. Via ProPublica. Many thanks to Joe Culligan at Web of Deception for his work that made it possible. Joe also contacted ProPublica directly at some point. And $6,000 to his fiancee?

This is a public, non-profit charity required by law to place its financials in public view for inspection. That disclaimer is right on the official tax form.

A charity headed by star Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. is filing an amended 2007 report to the Internal Revenue Service because $11,000 it paid to foundation officers as compensation was mischaracterized as being for research grants.

ProPublica inquired about Inkwell after receiving an e-mail from Joseph Culligan, a private investigator who makes public on his Web site documents about prominent people, from Ann Coulter to Sonia Sotomayor. The e-mail spotlighted a $10,000 grant made to Joanne Kendall, the foundation’s treasurer, pointing out that she is also Gates’ assistant at Harvard.

Does POTUS know anyone who does not cheat on their taxes?
