By News staff PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A request by “Survivor” star Richard Hatch to pay the Internal Revenue Service $25 for January in his tax-evasion case has been denied. Court records show a federal judge rejected the request Tuesday. Hatch, 50, had sought the reduced payment, saying he had only earned $500 since being freed from prison in December. Federal public defender Mary McElroy says in court papers that Hatch’s accountant and agent take 20 percent of his income, and he is saving for an apartment. She also says Hatch is relying on others for housing and basic necessities. Hatch was ordered last year to pay the IRS 25 percent of his gross income as part of his sentence for violating terms of his supervised release.
