Former Florida Democratic state senator Mandy Dawson will plead guilty to federal income tax evasion charges, according to an Orlando Sentinel report. A 16-year state legislator and 10-year senator, Dawson was charged in July for failing to file tax returns for multiple years in the mid-2000s. She allegedly received more than $80,000 from a political fundraiser attempting to hide said cash from the federal government, and then failed to report it to the IRS. She faces up to 13 years in prison.
