Mayor Clark separated from his wife on January 3, 2011 and was removed from his residence. His was not allowed to bring anything with him, including personal financial documents that would have been utilized to complete the pfd form. When the notice of delinquency was received in November 2011, Mayor Clark was unable to get access to his documents, then learned the documents were missing. Mayor Clark is responsible for $1,408 in monthly child support payments. He is currently in arrears on both federal and state taxes and is subject to a voluntary garnishment. His vehicle is being repossessed. He is also delinquent on his student loans. This late fee would cause a financial hardship.
