[marketcrazy1]

http://www.ktka.com/news/2009/feb/16/kansas_suspends_income_tax_refunds/ - The State of KS is experiencing a shortfall of $200 million in the 2009 state tax revenue

- The KS Legislature passed a bill that would eliminate $300 million from the 2009 budget, while preparing for more budget cuts in 2010

- KS Gov. Sibelius disagrees with some of the budget cuts, including education cuts, and refuses to sign the bill

- KS Gov. Sibelius was attempting to borrow $225 million to transfer into the state's main account to pay the bills, but can only do so with Legislative approval

- KS Republicans have blocked this request

2. Next step? Millions of people will be re-adjusting their withholding

so they no longer "over-pay"..

3. Yeah, well I'm a "Kansan" and due a refund this year...

The irony is: I'm a native Californian, and believe me: I'd rather be back in California with no tax refund than here in Kansas with no tax refund!

I'd rather be seeing blue in a Blue state than red in a Red state...

4. Public office is too important to be trusted to Republicans.

When will enough voters finally catch on?

5. I wonder if I can get my state to suspend the amount I owe them...
