The Tax Man Sloweth
If the Tax Man gets hurt in the budget cuts now, it may slow your income tax returns later.
The state Department of Revenue expects to collect nearly $11.9 million less in self-generate funds because of the massive damage from Hurricanes Rita and Katrina, and the budget cuts announced last week by Gov. Kathleen Blanco would mean an additional $6 million loss for the department.
The cuts could mean 40 lost positions in the department, less travel, less supplies and the loss of temporary employees normally brought on board for the busy season, typically November through June.
Ultimately, the cuts would mean it takes the Department of Revenue more time to process tax returns.
