If the flu shots can be put to good use to help someone who needs them, that's great, but it does not change Comptroller Hynes' position that the state of Illinois and the taxpayers of Illinois are not responsible for the payment of flu shots that we never received.
Carol Knowles
449 quotes about taxpayers follow in order of popularity. Be sure to bookmark and share your favorites!
This is a process that has been followed by a number of other taxpayers with the tax court, and many of them have had success recently in overturning these opinions.
Crane Kenney
And the provision included to offset the cost of these programs recognizes that taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for certain lifestyle prescription drugs through Medicare and Medicaid.
Charles E. Grassley
An increase of 8.75 percent over [the current] budget is what the Board of Education decided upon, based on the best information available to them at the time. I think at this time we, as the voters who elected this board, should rely on their experience and expertise to fulfill their obligation to both taxpayers and the students of Monroe.
Cindy Fox
If an HMRC official has an enquiry target to meet, they will look at the Revenue-generated list of potential taxpayers, rather than try to track down potential evaders from the electoral roll. This means that ordinary law-abiding taxpayers will end up paying more, because the majority of enquiries will be directed at them.
Scott Hallesy
I would hope that at some point, Great Wolf recognizes that the taxpayers and the City of Sheboygan do have a right to know if Blue Harbor is in trouble and if it's not.
Mayor Juan Perez
We want to avoid any bad surprises for taxpayers.
Bruce Barnett
We again will be able to host great games without any cost to local taxpayers. We also promise a bid that will be distinctive in its approach compared to previous games.
Barry Sanders
This only reinforces the perception that, when it comes to spending, there is not a lot of consideration given to taxpayers.
John Williamson
There are several hundred municipal mandates in Connecticut. Many of these are partially funded or unfunded and are problematic and unfair because they create financial burdens that cost taxpayers money. Cities and towns have only two ways to pay for these mandates: increase taxes and fees or cut programs and services.
Peter Gioia
All we're doing is pushing the due date up. (Taxpayers) are not paying for four months extra. It's more of an accounting question than a monetary figure.
Rick Boyer
Every day that we delay professionalizing FEMA and depoliticizing it is another day that taxpayers' money is being spent by an agency which has been demonstrated under these circumstances to be incompetent.
David Obey
Most of these people are spending $80 to $120 per week on canteen items, while we support them totally, ... This is not fair to the taxpayers.
Mike Hodges
I don't see this as being in the taxpayer's interest -- going to higher hourly rates and people who are going to be billing us for more hours. Engineering services are a significant portion of our general fund budget. It's over $100,000. And right now I think we're getting a great value for our dollar and good service. I just don't see a reason to change.
Pete Stainthorpe
People entered into these deals often at the behest of lawyers and accountants peddling flaky tax products, ... We're offering taxpayers a quick, quiet and cost-effective way to put these deals behind them.
Mark Everson
Make believe that we're taxpayers, and we want to support you, but we want to know what it's going to cost to run these schools. People want to know what it's going to cost.
Rick Caporale
The problem will become much worse. To call upon taxpayers - most of whom don't have defined-benefit pensions - to pay for the benefits of those who do would be fundamentally unfair.
Bradley Belt
Taxpayers have rights they should use when appropriate. But anyone who abuses those rights should understand they can incur significant penalties.
Kevin Brown
We believe that California taxpayers deserve the right to independently and privately prepare and file their own taxes. Our concern has been that this program targets predominantly low-income and minority taxpayers who may be put at a disadvantage by getting what looks like a bill from the state.
Julie Miller
If the Manhattan Institute is against the state takeover of Medicaid costs of county taxpayers and new property tax rebates for homeowners, they are out of step with New Yorkers.
Scott Reif
The impacts of the income-tax cuts passed last year are being equated into higher refund payments sent to taxpayers in February. Our state's economy is strong enough to provide for General Fund growth despite the enacted cuts.
Brad Cowgill
We don't want to add additional burden to the taxpayers.
Bruce Williams
We are seeing huge sales increases, which ultimately is good news for Wisconsin taxpayers because that means more money is available for property tax relief.
Jessica Iverson
We are pleased to fund research in this area as fundamental climate conditions have a significant impact on Saskatchewan crops, ... In light of the recent weather conditions, the loss at the farm gate and cost to taxpayers is validation of how critical this research is to our community.
Ralph Goodale
The school district is still going to get their same dollar amount. But the tax rate to taxpayers will be slightly higher than what we calculated originally.
G. Stanley Hall
People are throwing up their hands between the civil unrest, the number of deaths and the cost to taxpayers. People feel worn out by the war, and they don't see an end.
Diane Farrell
Dan's plan is unique in that it provides taxpayers who do not currently itemize their deductions a $1,000 deduction for contributions to charitable organizations that help the victims of Katrina and Rita, ... Seventy percent of taxpayers would be entitled to their regular standard deduction plus the amount they contributed to organizations that assist hurricane victims.
James Wittenbach
Did you ever think what the word 'vote' means? To me it means: 'Voice of Taxpayers Everywhere'.
Martin Buxbaum
This guidance helps make sure that adequate management controls are in place to ensure that taxpayers' dollars are spent efficiently and responsibly.
David H. Safavian
It's not fair to taxpayers to foot the bill for what we need. That's why we formed the regional board.
George Galbraith
The issue is whether it's cost-effective for the tax system and good for taxpayers.
Linda Mcdougall
We understand that this might be sudden for people and there are a lot of questions from taxpayers.
Barry Miller
We estimate that, at the $1,000-or-less threshold amount, approximately 950,000 taxpayers will be eligible.
Nancy Mathis
It's bad day for consumers because the Legislature has protected the insurance industry at the expense of taxpayers. When someone is injured, someone is going to have to pay.
Scott Carruthers
That openness comes with a cost. If you could have gotten the property at $100,000 less, you would have saved taxpayers $100,000. The cure would be the public would not have a right to know, and that's wrong.
Dee Stanley
It has become more apparent to us over the past seven months, as each new embarrassment is plastered across newspapers, that individuals within the university appear to have a greater interest in doing what is in the best interest of the Office of the President, rather than what is in the best interests of its students, its faculty or California's taxpayers.
Gloria Romero
This is probably one of the best things that has happened, ... We have room for the equipment, and we can save the taxpayers' money.
Terry Porter
When we see a possible discrepancy, we need to investigate to make sure the taxpayers are not paying for something that simply doesn't exist. It's our responsibility to investigate that discrepancy. It's our responsibility to the people, really.
Sandra King
It's like the best social-service program in the world. It's not costing the taxpayers anything. It's the criminals.
Jenny Wieland
If the IRS suspects fraud, they can go back as far as they want. But for 99 percent of the taxpayers, three years is enough. You don't need to keep them longer than that.
Dan Mcelroy
Illegal immigration has imposed a catastrophic impact on taxpayers and seriously crippled our public school system. While we need legal immigration, which is essential, illegal immigration has been detrimental to the economy and to our quality of life.
Mike Antonovich
The City has an obligation to compensate victims for damages The City causes. At the same time, we have an obligation to taxpayers to ensure we only compensate when The City is liable.
Alexis Truchan
Arkansas taxpayers, firemen, nurses, teachers, police officers, and other public servants are the ones who are really going to be paying the price of this tax - not the oil companies. State employees will see the value of their funds reduced and taxpayers will be left to make up the losses.
Harry Alford
Tremendous disappointment of millions of taxpayers and teachers and parents over this Legislature's failure to act on property tax relief and education reform.
Patrick Perry
A tax system is best if it can be kept as simple as it needs to be to satisfy all its various purposes. This means that it can be clearly understood and is most likely to meet various Government objectives and be straightforward for both individuals and businesses – our research shows that taxpayers are being swamped by a barrage of tax legislation.
Brian Young
Doing so gives the rest of the taxpayers confidence that the system has integrity and accountability built in. In an ideal world everyone pays their taxes, pays the right amount and pays on time. But we don't live in an ideal world.
Harvey Bennett
If PCI is not going to use these funds, they should be returned to their rightful owners, Pennsylvania taxpayers.
Jack Wagner
This is an enormous burden to impose on our taxpayers, who would be responsible for paying the refund, and the benefit will go to National Grid.
Howard Weitzman
This city has a history of agreements that do not serve the taxpayers well, so punishing those that inform the public is bad policy. I urge the council to stop having so many private negotiations.
John Boland
One of the reasons why we chose the VITA sites is because most of the taxpayers were eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit.
Michael Stegman
The taxpayers are paying more and getting less. Having the state executive of Missouri driving back and forth between Jefferson City and Springfield multiple times a week is an inefficient use of our governor's time, especially when the taxpayers are footing that bill.
Jack Cardetti
City taxpayers and downtown office workers are incensed when told of free parking for Manpower executives. The city leaders who thought this TIF up are out-of-touch with their constituents.
Craig Peterson
Scripps is important to the county, but at what risk to taxpayers?
Shannon Larocque
It's not council's money. The taxpayers have made an investment in the riverfront, and right now council is holding this project hostage.
Tom Gabelman
That's a more wise investment of taxpayers' money, and we would have received a better return.
Stephen Caldas
Based on everything in the literature, this kind of program is the least-expensive and most cost-effective for taxpayers and has the greatest chance of working.
Doug Hughes
All the taxpayers of the surrounding cities of Providence -- Cranston, Johnston, North Providence, Pawtucket and East Providence -- will now be subsidizing the rescue service in the city of Providence.
Paul Doughty
Tax Day and National Humor Month are both in April. Coincidence? I think not. People deserve a good laugh when they've finished their taxes, and movies are a great way for taxpayers to take a break after crunching numbers.
Shane Evangelist
We are stewards of the taxpayers' money. And I think we owe it to the taxpayers to explain why we're spending as much per student as New York State.
Councilman Richard Banks
What are the results and how much money have we saved? ... What are we getting for the $65 billion the taxpayers have entrusted us with?
Karen Evans
20,000 great residents, 6,700 taxpayers, and nearly as many volunteers.
Howard Miller
The ballot measure will cost taxpayers more than it will save them. It's going to really backfire.
Wade Buchanan
[Coyle said the point of BRAC is to coalesce military functions and save the DOD and taxpayers money.] This doesn't do either, ... The DOD itself says that this recommendation will not save the taxpayers or the Department of the Navy any money.
Philip Coyle
This is what taxpayers want... a project like this that is fiscally sound.
Adrian Garcia
Giving evidence has been painful for them, the government has spent almost $6 million of taxpayers' money, we're not going to spend that again.
Peter Beattie
Rising prescription brand-name drugs are raising insurance premiums to unaffordable heights, ... The existing world of multiple prices and multiple discounts, and great amounts of complexity and paper work, harm ordinary American patients, businesses and taxpayers.
Alan Sager
The RAL must be repaid even if the taxpayer's refund is denied, smaller than expected or frozen. If the taxpayer cannot pay back the RAL, the lender may send the account to a debt collector, which will likely show up on the taxpayer's credit report.
Gail Cunningham
I've been up there and I've worked on this before. They don't have to wonder if I'm going to fight for lower taxes. (Murphy) had eight years to prove that he was a friend to taxpayers, and he hasn't done that.
Mike Schofield
I'm hoping it doesn't escalate from here, but we have to look out for Martin County taxpayers. I think we've exhausted everything we can do through normal channels. I think it's going to be a pretty big thing and I don't think it'll be a quick, easy solution.
Commissioner Lee Weberman
We're seeing tremendous increases each year in the number of taxpayers e-filing their returns from home.
Anthony Burke
We don?t have to sit back as voters and taxpayers and hope that the government will get to it eventually, because they have a lot of other things to deal with.
Deborah Reyher
The speaker's prudent course of action will allow the pharmacy school to open, and the state will have funding to cover the costs associated with the hurricanes and public school finance without having to further burden Texas taxpayers.
Alexis Delee
Again, taxpayers will not be responsible for this. We are going to seek third-party reimbursement from whoever the Coast Guard deems is at fault.
Kris Carson
If we don't have sales tax coming in from tourism-related (station) owners, it's going to hurt property taxpayers.
Raymond Smith
You're talking about a potential commitment almost to the level of the financial commitment we're putting into Iraq in terms of resources for evacuation, helping people rebuild, and remediation (of environment). This is a substantial hit that will hit both the taxpayers and the insurance companies.
Hugh Kaufman
The bottom line is it's all taxpayers money, and the main thing was to get it done. This was two healthy entities stepping up to the plate to get something done.
Bill Wyatt
The United States invented the Internet and it has been our gift to the world, paid for by our taxpayers, ... The U.N.'s desire to take that gift as a means of increasing its power must be stopped.
John Doolittle
Honest taxpayers expecting a refund deserve to be treated fairly.
Mark Everson
This proposal is unfair because the entire requirement is placed on the taxpayers of Jackson County.
Craig Davis
A charter flight is the best way of making this trip work. I cannot comment on the security aspects of the trip, but a large number of factors went into this decision and taxpayers' money is not being misused.
Paddy Harverson
Our position was we certainly couldn't comply with a contract that was under challenge by the taxpayers, as well as the Council, but now it has been declared lawful, and we want to do what we told the city we'd do all along.
Richard Sullivan
This isn't fair to the taxpayer. They need to sit down now and provide a plan that allows us to know what this is going to cost. Already, they've bonded $4 million on this, and it looks like they could need much more. We at least need to know if this going to go back to the taxpayers for a vote, ... I wanted to bring it up for discussion, we at least owe the taxpayers that much.
Charles O'brien
The Prime Minister needs to have proper security. But I'm not at all persuaded that hiring luxury yachts on behalf of the security services to travel with the Prime Minister while he is on a luxury cruise is a good use of taxpayers' money.
Chris Grayling
The local governments are responsible to their taxpayers. They're responsible to industry.
Cynthia Covell
If the university is going to hold us hostage and make us spend the extra $114 million to build at the LG&E site, that's on the table. Now the taxpayers know that the university forced us to go to the expensive side.
John Schnatter
It's the people's land and their facilities. The taxpayers paid for it and we want everyone to come out, get to know more about the environment in which we live, and just enjoy the majesty of Pinellas County at its wildest.
Bruce Rinker
So in this situation, selling bonds to complete the project is the best and least expensive option for the taxpayers.
Louis Mahern
And the fundamental question is, why does someone with such extraordinary wealth look for the taxpayers of the state to subsidize his ventures?
Robert Orr
All you do is take more money out of taxpayers' hands that could be used for something more useful, like education or other purposes. These are political decisions that have no economic or fiscal basis.
Stuart Anderson
Other than taxpayers, we might be one of the few winners in the recent unpleasantness.
Trey Walker
Any tax over 12-14% -- regardless of the base -- will corrupt enough taxpayers to render the system unfair to all. So, beware of single-tax proposals. The U.S. government blows more money than any single tax can generate. The key is to tax multiple bases, disparate in nature, and with simple flat rates. That is a system both fair and sustatinable.
Steve Wallace
A lot of local residents are just happy to see something done. But it's sad that we (taxpayers) are paying for it.
Kurt Wieringa
We're going to continue our investigation into how an experienced detective working homicide could let this happen. It really falls on negligence ... and it's costing the taxpayers over $1 million in sanctions.
Councilman Dennis Zine
How many years do you think Kentucky taxpayers can continue to pay an additional $150 to $200 million a year?
Jim Waters
AARP does not have the right to expect taxpayers to foot the bill to help advance its political agenda.
John Carlisle
But the fact is, it's illegal for the Administration to spend North west taxpayers' money to develop this rate hike proposal, just so it can turn around and raise their energy rates.
Maria Cantwell
It's a great day for the taxpayers of Palm Beach County.
Robert Norton
It does raise some questions as to who benefits from these projects. Is it the taxpayers of St. Pete in general or 'condominium row'?
Darryl Paulson
Depending on how it is formulated, a federal flat tax could benefit few, some, or most individual income taxpayers living in the District.
Natwar Gandhi
The survey's findings echo the concerns we are hearing from consumers, small business owners, doctors and taxpayers across our state. Floridians have a real problem with personal injury lawyers and people who see lawsuits and our courts as a way to get rich.
Slade O'brien
We need to give the taxpayers a seat at the table in this state.
Bill Scranton
The first people who will get hit with this are the seniors. I have talked with several senior residents and they tell me that these increases may force them out of living here. We are going to try very hard but the burden can't be put on the taxpayers anymore. I don't know how or where at this point but we have to look at everything.
Mary Bigelow
The only reason they are doing it is to help taxpayers. It's not to raise money.
Joseph Bankman
Taxpayers are paying for the schools, and the kids should have access.
Robert Houser
What I want to do is create more taxpayers, not more taxes.
Geoff Davis
She's concerned about taxpayers having to pay for health insurance for big employers, which should be paying for their employees.
Holly Armstrong
Taxpayers who don't file their required tax returns and fail to respond to IRS requests for a return may be considered for a variety of enforcement actions.
Bill Steiner
By maintaining systems, retiring debt, and keeping costs low for taxpayers, you've assured the financial position of the city. It's commendable that the mayor and council utilized fixed assets to make this happen.
Dicky Sparks Cpa
Legally, this is referred to as an increase. There's no two ways about it on the ballot. However, if you look at the preamble, it says this proposal would reauthorize the levy. That tells taxpayers this is something they have paid before.
John Schwartz
I think it's ridiculous that we've set up a separate authority and a stream of separate, dedicated funding and given them the bonding authority and these kinds of things - because basically the taxpayers shouldn't be responsible for funding a private-sector entity like that, especially in professional sports, where they make tons of money.
Steve Landes
The first round of Senate Finance Committee hearing produced positive results for taxpayers as I hope these will.
Charles Rossotti
It is one of those rare instances where government was able to operate like a private business and provide a savings to the taxpayers. The state got what it needed and, in the process, it provided what the airport needed for further development.
Carl Laundrie
That's nearly half a million dollars just sitting there. It continually amazes me that hundreds of thousands of dollars are sitting around and never given back to the taxpayers.
Judy Hansen
The province has created a ticking download that will cost Ontario property taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars over time.
Roger Anderson
If somebody comes to you and says what's your bank account number, it's probably not us. We contact taxpayers by U.S. mail first and provide a toll-free number to call the agency.
Anthony Burke
In most cases, taxpayers can recover any penalties and extra fees they may have incurred because of a mistake by the preparer, but will still have to pay the extra tax if it is due.
Doug Lipton
We do this to educate taxpayers as to how high the total tax burden in America really is -- a lot of the tax burden is hidden from view.
Scott Moody
I've been asked by a number of people to run. I really feel I have a civic duty to get involved and let people vote for someone who is honest, has higher ethics and would watch taxpayers' money.
Henry Becker
Noble has made a billion dollars in profits since 2000, but it doesn't pay its fair share in taxes. Taxpayers are being gouged at both ends of this deal. Noble is getting rich off high energy prices, while the Department of Energy is giving away taxpayers' hard-earned dollars in the form of an unnecessary grant.
Tyson Slocum
Why are taxpayers in California and Texas and Massachusetts paying for a museum in Indianapolis?
David Boaz
Frankly, elections are run by humans. Sometimes (errors) are of great consequence, such as this one, and sometimes they're of lesser consequence... I don't feel that blaming or trying to find out which human made which mistake is very productive or helpful. We just want to give voters an honest and fair opportunity to cast ballots at affordable if not minimal cost to taxpayers.
Phil Lenzini
Until Congress sets priorities and restrains overall spending, members will continue to get failed ratings for protecting the interests of taxpayers.
Tom Schatz
I want the taxpayers to know that some people are getting more than a three percent raise.
James Bland
Wherever possible, ... I'd like to see Charlotte architects and contractors used. I'd like to keep the Charlotte taxpayers' money here in Charlotte.
John Tabor
It will feel less dense because of all the open space. It saves the taxpayers a fortune - we're talking millions.
Danny Mason
The mayor thought it was too rich to begin with. He really wanted this deal to happen, but he also wanted to try and protect the taxpayers.
Patrick Curley
The taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for a low-performing job. I would like to see that money go to the teachers.
James Bland
[Critics say Carnival deserves to be treated no differently than a hotel housing relief workers under a FEMA contract.] Carnival should be contributing to the relief effort just like all other taxpayers are, ... Why should they be singled out for special treatment, just because they've been so good at tax avoidance in the past?
James Mcintyre
More and more taxpayers are using e-file and last year we saw more Michigan taxpayers file electronically than file by paper. It's fast, secure and easy.
Luis Garcia
Secretary McDonough has looked at the investigation of the armory incident, and he doesn't like what he sees. Some of these guys have been on paid leave, and he feels as a guardian of taxpayers' money that this is not the way to spend it. He doesn't like people on the payroll who aren't working.
Robby Cunningham
People are naive to think somebody is going to give you taxpayers' money and is then completely ignore what you do with it.
Nick Lewis
If Sanford fails to call for property tax reform in the State of the State address Wednesday, the property taxpayers of South Carolina will understand that he is intentionally snubbing the wishes of the people.
Oscar Lovelace
Competition promotes consumer choice, lowers prices and encourages innovation. This change will help government agencies choose from the best products at the fairest prices for American taxpayers.
Sue Snyder
The auditorium is like an echo chamber and now we're asking the taxpayers to pick up the cost of these (mistakes) which should have been done correctly in the first place.
Ken Brennan
It is bad news for taxpayers, who might have to cover part of the unfunded pension costs for Northwest and Delta employees.
John Spratt
I have long believed taxpayers make better use of their money than the government ever could.
Kay Hutchison
Tax increases for the school district will have to be put into place. But doing so will make taxpayers reluctant to increase funding through property taxes for general county services.
Paul Tischler
If somebody is really serious about getting rid of peafowl … then the rest of the taxpayers of the city should not be responsible for that service. I don't think we've had a significant number of residential complaints around the city. Maybe we are overreacting.
Councilwoman Susan Seamans
Based on this report, the choice is either for pensioners to lose over $100-billion in promised retirement benefits or for taxpayers to get slapped with a $100-billion bill for failed private pension plans. Neither is acceptable.
Jim Nussle
This should be a matter of public concern. After all, one reason taxpayers must pay more every April is that wealth made over to foundations not only avoids inheritance levies but becomes tax-exempt in its new incarnation.
Andrew Hacker
It's too bad that the taxpayers have to bear the brunt of additional bills.
Alan White
If the trend with pre-retirees continues, the sheer size of the 77 million baby boomer population -- coupled with impending postage increases -- will drive up the government's costs to issue paper checks exponentially... and taxpayers will bear the burden.
Dick Gregg
The vote expands health care for workers, stops large, profitable companies from shifting their health care costs onto taxpayers, and makes sure all large, profitable employers pay their fair share for health care.
Paul Blank
We have to thank the taxpayers of Utah.
Keith Griffall
A year ago, everyone said this deal was impossible to get. Today, without question, New Jersey taxpayers have the best deal in NFL history.
Richard Codey
The taxpayers money is being spent on them.
Raghu Sharma
These settlements, which have recovered nearly $5 million in overpayments and penalties, demonstrate the government's strong commitment to protecting the Medicare system. We will continue to scrutinize medical providers' billing to ensure compliance with medical coding guidelines and to protect every taxpayer's investment in the Medicare system.
Rodger Heaton
Taxpayers should be outraged that this is happening. They just don't know.
Jim Metrock
If you're a public official you need to take care of the taxpayers money and use it where it's supposed to go.
Wade Perry
We were pleased to see that a candidate for office has taken the time to meet with professionals in the field and to put together a comprehensive platform that will guide the office if he is elected. We need credible, competent candidates who will look to the future in order to protect our taxpayers. Bob Heap is just such a candidate.
Barry Greenberg
Some of the original changes were suggested by the city in order to preserve some of the taxpayer's dollars. We felt like the projects were more expensive on the city side of the ledger.
Mayor Carlos Mayans
Taxpayers deserve a government that harnesses technology to better serve the people.
Matt Blunt
We were running out of space for female inmates and needed to provide some relief for the Women's Prison. The use of these dorms will provide needed space at a low cost to the taxpayers.
Tim Reisch
The Davis-Bacon waiver removed red tape to get the recovery effort going quickly with more companies participating. We have not seen any evidence of abuse - in fact, we have seen just the opposite. The waivers are proving to be effective and efficient, jump-starting the recovery effort at reduced costs to taxpayers.
Alex Conant
Tax revenues for the state are still far (below) the real potential. I will gather more information and set up a new system to prevent loss of revenue as well as expanding the number of new taxpayers.
Darmin Nasution
We're trying to do everything at once, but there are limits. The council didn't want to overburden the taxpayers.
Larry Pleasant
The plaintiffs' attorney fees are going to reflect how the defense counsel in this case have persisted in drawing out this case and dragging it through the courts and running up costs ultimately for the taxpayers of Humboldt County.
Gordon Kaupp
It takes pressure off local taxpayers.
Joy Smolnisky
We developed this new section on our site to help taxpayers more easily find answers to their tax questions. This time of year people are starting to feel the stress of the deadline and we hope that this additional information will make it a little easier for them.
Cindy Jensen
It would seem that if they're using an employee compensated by taxpayers to answer questions about the campaign, that may be on the other side of that fine line of the law.
Meta Minton
The American taxpayers have spent a lot of money on this report and they deserve the right to see it.
Charles E. Grassley
Replacement voter registration certificates are arriving this week at absolutely no cost to Harris County taxpayers. Because this was the printer's error, the printer agreed to pay all printing and postage costs to correct it.
Paul Bettencourt
This is a major, major impact on taxpayers. This is a boondoggle.
John Rudolph
It's certainly what the Internal Revenue Service wants, because of the efficiency and lack of manpower it takes to process returns and it allows taxpayers the opportunity to get their money back sooner.
Bob Grossman
If the trend with pre-retires continues, the sheer size of the 77 million baby boomer population, coupled with impending postage increases, will drive up the government's costs to issue paper checks exponentially. Taxpayers will bear the burden.
Dick Gregg
You not only have changes in personnel, but you have increased involvement from the division of administration as this moves up the ladder which is typical of most state contracts. We have a heavy burden on our end in terms of how this project moves forward and how the taxpayers' dollars are spent.
Richard House
Finally, we are ensuring that we adequately maintain what the taxpayers have had to pay for.
Allen Fossbender
This is much fairer for taxpayers. I think everyone was upset by that Supreme Court ruling.
Larry Montague
The federal prescription drug plan was touted as a measure to help seniors and save the states money. Instead, it's failing our most vulnerable elderly and disabled citizens, and it's failing the taxpayers of Kentucky.
Attorney General Greg Stumbo
It's now easier than ever before to give your money to the district. . . . DC is the first U.S. city to offer individual taxpayers and businesses access to full tax services, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Anthony Williams
If we have something experimental, nonstandard, and we say, 'Well, it should work' and I'm going to spend $30 million of their (taxpayer's) dollars? No, I can't do that.
William Coakley
Thank goodness Sen. Grassley is providing some adult supervision. It's not just the taxpayers who are harmed by the current Monopoly money mentality in Washington, D.C., but more directly the hurricane survivors themselves. Every penny spent should help the survivors instead of lining the pockets of disaster profiteers.
Danielle Brian
This is one of the most tormented decisions that I've had to make. It's for the taxpayers money in this county.
Monroe Benaim
The taxpayers deserve a thoughtful, regular review of their government's spending.
Clay Johnson
This kind of mindless vandalism directly endangers the lives of those who use our rural roads and costs us all yet more taxpayers' money.
Angus Campbell
These payments certainly put a crimp on having a balanced budget. We're paying these fees instead of expending resources for benefits such as economic development or enhanced law enforcement. This is preventative medicine, something we necessarily have to do to protect the long-term interests of taxpayers.
Dan Proft
Anytime we can get some grant money to help offset the costs (Davenport) taxpayers would have to cover we are very appreciative, ... The department did a great job in going after the grant.
Bryan Taylor
Fully 93 percent of the tax relief in our bill goes to taxpayers with annual incomes under $100,000, 76 percent goes to taxpayers with incomes under $75,000, ... If ever there was a tax plan for America's forgotten middle class, this is it.
Bill Archer
If we stay with the two-thirds bond [in June], property taxpayers would not have their taxes increase, but it would extend the length of the bond.
Linda Clark
By utilizing technology and modernizing our operations we've become more efficient and effective at delivering library services throughout the county. We are proud that we can make these improvements at no additional cost to the taxpayers. Technology can truly help us level the inequities in service across the county.
Pam Collins
Only a Republican prosecutor would indict a career civil servant for pursuing a better deal for taxpayers.
Joe Wineke
What's missing here are wealthy taxpayers like myself. The people who come here to work are the brave ones, the entrepreneurs. Those are the kind of people we want in America.
