Still waiting for that link.

Then it should be really easy to find a link that says “this refund is because of federal Covid money.”

>I ready did your just to stupid and ignorant to understand how the law works and I'm tired of explaining it to you.

It literally, specifically, excludes federal money.

LOL. Internet points? Really? Just point me to something that says federal aid is the reason for the tax refund and that’s the end of it. If that’s the reason, it should be easy to find.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. The state collected more state tax revenue than allowed by the formula set in the law. That’s it.

It literally says state tax revenue and then lists a dozen state taxes and fees. The only thing I’m seeing that says “federal aid too” is you (except the part that says excluding federal reimbursement).

I’m honestly puzzled by the reaction here. I voted yes. But I also think we need to make serious changes before it’s implemented. And the reaction seems to be “noooo! Just collect money and it will be okay!”

There’s nothing in this question that forces the state to increase education and transportation spending. In fact the legislature could cut education and transportation spending down to the amount collected by the surtax and no laws would be broken. I doubt that will happen but I also doubt there will be any increase to education spending. They could just dump this new tax revenue into state police salaries. There’s nothing stopping them.

Federal aid is not state tax revenue. If I’m wrong, by all means show me a link that says so. Nothing that you’ve said addresses federal aid.

Nah

>”Excess State Tax Revenues” means the amount by which net state tax revenues, as defined herein, for a fiscal year exceed the allowable state tax revenues, as defined herein, for said fiscal year.

It’s not tax revenue

Doesn’t work that way. There’s a limit on the amount of tax revenue collected, not federal aid received.

It’s actually got nothing to do with surplus (and the state can’t run a deficit). It’s a maximum amount of tax revenue as a proportion of incomes.

I mean…I sort of do.

>Chapter 62F is a Massachusetts General Law that requires the Department of Revenue to issue a credit to taxpayers if total tax revenues in a given fiscal year exceed an annual cap tied to wage and salary growth in the Commonwealth.

Sure, but it doesn’t say they have to increase overall funding from last year.

Doesn’t work that way.

And if we collect too much revenue once again?

Moon Villa is open till 3, I think every night. Double Chin is open till 4 on Friday and Saturday.

This really needs to be the first order of business if question 1 passes. What’s the sense of more revenue if it just has to be returned?

Elalami’s Salalami. I’ll work on the setup.

Not if you take your dick out.

It’s funny. I looked into it about 20 years ago, and it was $4k.

That requires a lot of detailed and difficult police work though.

If the gun was bought illegally the parents can just play dumb. Gun? What gun?

Hehehe. Pupu.
