It's About Time

I have compassion for the less fortunate, the poor.
Heck, I know as well as anyone tough times can come any one's way.

I hate paying taxes of any kind, but if you owe taxes, you pay the taxes!

New year brings reminder from past
More delinquent taxpayers will be on Web list in 2008

Madison - About 14,000 more Wisconsin residents and businesses will start 2008 with an Internet hangover, when their names and addresses are added to state government's list of tax delinquents Friday.

A provision of the state budget that passed in October dramatically lowered - from $25,000 to $5,000 - the threshold of unpaid taxes, penalties, interest and costs to have a taxpayer's name on the Revenue Department's online list of delinquent taxpayers.
As a result, the 5,500 names now on the list is expected to grow to more than 19,000.

Bottom line, if you don't want to pay your taxes, let the people that do pay on time see who you are.

At least someone is sticking up for the honest taxpayers!
Thanks Rep. Frank Lasee (R-Bellevue)
