The AP is reporting today that two West Virginia staffing agency
executives have been sentenced to prison in a tax evasion
scheme. Sixty-year-old Daniel Hovis of Whittier, N.C., was
sentenced to two years in prison, while 62-year-old Janice Hensley
of Charleston, W.V., was sentenced to one year and eight
months. They pleaded guilty in May to failure to pay more
than $630,000 in employment taxes owed to the IRS. Hovis is
