The report released last week by Inspector General Isabel Mercedes Cumming on her investigation into the travel and private businesses of Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn J. Mosby raised a question that, in my opinion, only the Internal Revenue Service can answer definitively.
The question is whether it was proper for Mosby to claim a loss from those businesses for tax purposes when it appears from her own statements, and those of her spokesperson and lawyers, that she was not actively soliciting clients or trying to earn income from the businesses.
Last July, The Brew reported that Mosby had registered three business entities under her name: Mahogany Elite Enterprises LLC, Mahogany Elite Consulting and Mahogany Elite Travel.
