Kansas suspends income tax refunds; effort to move funds blocked

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - Kansas is suspending income tax refunds and may not be able to pay its employees on time. The state is strapped for cash in its main bank account.

Republican legislative leaders blocked an effort by Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to transfer funds into the account.

Sebelius wanted to move $225 million from other accounts throughout state government, allowing the state to pay its bills. That move requires approval of legislative leaders, and Republicans balked.

Now Budget Director Duane Goossen said he's not sure the state can meet its payroll. State employees are due to be paid again Friday.

GOP leaders want Sebelius to sign a bill making $326 million in adjustments to the budget for the fiscal year that ends June 30.

Legislators approved that bill last week, but it has not reached her desk.

Gee Whiz... Go E-Verify the I-9s at the States Unemployment Offices.

Here is a fast Tax lesson for everybody: You are much better off owing at the end of the year than expecting a refund.

And you can wait to pay in October with interest and penalty. It might be worth watching the states wiggle and have some pain - the interest and penalty.

I am thinking you might be right.

Breaking even is the ideal situation. That being virtually impossible I say better to owe. Any refund is actually an interest free loan you have given to the government.

Now it would seem it's one they may not repay!

Time for the FairTax, federal and state.

www.fairtax.org

Pay as you go when you shop for new products and services purchased for non-business purposes.

10 pages of law replacing 77,000 pages of nonsense. Tell your state officials about it. Several states are looking at implementing State FairTaxes fashioned after the federal FairTax proposal, HB 25 in the US House of Representatives and SB 1025 in the US Senate.

Every single state that has a pro open borders liberal government is in the toilet financially and the taxpayers pay for it...And these idiots just spend more and more on illegal immigration and don't want to hear any suggestions about checking I-9's to tamp down on health care, welfare, food stamps, education, heating assistance, SSI, social security and other benefits to illegal aliens using stolen social security numbers with many using multiple identities to obtain multiple payments but are only willing to cut medicare and medicaid benefits for senior citizens, indigent Americans and unemployment assistance for unemployed Americans. It really makes a lot of sense but then Americans are second class citizens behind illegal aliens who will get any stimulus jobs and other benefits ahead of them.
