If you were due a refund, you already paid more taxes than you should. And if they owe you, get after them to pay you... plus interest!

So is Rollins accusing that judge of violating the Hatch Act? Federal judges cannot legally make partisan political donations.

If it happens, I'll join the group that pushes city council to cut the rest of their budget by more and direct it back to a protected fund supporting clean energy....

Last night it was claimed that all 8 Dems (and Schumer) who voted for the CR had significant campaign contributions from the American Airlines PAC. I suspect that had more to do with it than private jets. Most of those have smaller airports within 50 miles happy to have them.

Faith leaders in Portland, Oregon were told the same.

See Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, apparently....

Oops! $108.5B

If the top income tax rate was 94% like in 1943-44, and the tax bracket started at $3.75M (1943$200K, inflation adjusted), the US would collect $257.5M/day or $94B/yr.

SNAP & WIC combined in the US cost $100.3B last year.

I remember when that was what only sex-trafficking massage parlor owners did....

I'd say I haven't heard the term used in the wild in the last 30 years or so, and only by people of retirement age or tennis players. 🤷

Generally, those decisions are at the county level rather than state, at least here in the West.

I'd bet the ones who voted against all represent states with companies that have large military contracts... who may have contributed to their campaigns at some point.
