| Budget cuts drop in bucket compared to Big Dig debt | | 2008-07-17 16:35:53 | | You can connect the dots yourselves.....the Republican published a sad list of budget cuts targeted for Western Mass. I've been focused on Open Pantry Community Services, but the OPCS is not alone in its pain. I'd assume that even the most avid supporters of law and justice recognize that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Thus cuts for Girls Inc, Dunbar Community Center, youth programs in Easthampton, Palmer and westfield and AWAKE's entire funding make little or no sense.Now compare the entire amount of budget cuts-- $122.5 million-- to the STAGGERING debt Massachusetts has incurred from the Big Dig Project-- $7 billion in interest. Boston Globe.What's wrong with this picture?Atom

| Kansas Governor Suggests Decoupling Could Have Prevented Budget Cuts | | 2008-07-10 23:00:00 | | State Tax Notes (subscription required) reports that Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius regrets that the state missed out on $87 million in uncollected corporate income tax by staying in compliance with federal tax law. She believes Kansas's legislature should have voted to "decouple" from the recent federal stimulus package that permits companies "bonus depreciation"—that is, a chance to accelerate the write-off of their assets for tax purposes.For example, if a company was writing off the value of a large printing press over 20 years, a state that permits bonus depreciation (like Kansas) will allow the company to move up into the current year a large fraction of the write-off. However, in future years, the write-off will necessarily be smaller. The idea behind this bonus depreciation is to provide corporations faster access to money for business expansion, reinvestment and the acquisition of new labor—critical to business operations in a fluctuating eco | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |

| Fireworks on a Budget | | 2008-07-07 15:31:00 | | Last week I wrote about having a fireworks display at your wedding. Fireworks are definitely a spectacular way to celebrate your wedding; unfortunately, not many couples have it in their budget for a large fireworks display. Never fear! The Virtual Bridesmaid is to the rescue! (Ta da!... can I have a cape?)If you want the experience of having fireworks at your wedding but need a more cost effective solution, here are a few options:1) Have an Indoor DisplayAnother option to a larger outdoor fireworks display is an indoor display. Indoor fireworks displays typically involve hiring pyro-technician professionals. They can create displays out of a main centerpiece (like an ice sculpture) or smaller displays on table centerpieces.2) Have a Set Piece DisplayA set piece display is an exhibit that a fireworks company puts together for you.

| Plan Your Heating Budget Now | | 2008-07-02 19:36:38 | | It may be July right now but its certainly not too late to start planning your heating budget for this winter. Around here there are very few oil dealers even offering pre-buy this year. The few that are selling pre-buy contracts are in the high $4 range right now and very close to $5 per gallon!Last year the average price for a gallon of heating oil in NH was approximately $3.70. If the $5 mark holds (which I highly doubt considering the market) that would mean a 35% increase in your heating bill over last year. If you don't know how many gallons you used last year that I suggest you call your local dealer and ask them. This way you can plan your budget accordingly. I have a feeling many families are going to be stuck making very hard choices this winter in order to stay warm. If you start planning now it should help you spread out those hard decisions starting now instead of the middle of winter when it's really cold out.For those of us burning propane I heard some rather promising n | | By: Helpful Advice for Home Construction Improvement | | |

| Solving California's Budget Crisis | | 2008-06-15 07:00:00 | | California has one of the highest state tax rates in the country and is currently facing up to a twenty billion dollar shortfall according to the Governor's office. The best fiscal solution is to 1) adjust spending; 2) resolve the illegal immigration crisis; 3) fix waste. Unfortunately, their solution is to simply raise your taxes.Rather than adjust spending, resolve illegal immigration, and bring an end to government waste which, if done correctly, would put the state in the black and provide a great windfall: they just want to raise your taxes.Let's look at each of the solutions. First, the California Taxpayer's Association asserts that California can resolve its budget crisis by adjusting spending in a competent wholestic manner. Let's look at one specific way in which spending can be adjusted to give readers an idea of both the problem and how adjusting spending benefits them.

| How to build your first budget | | 2008-05-31 19:51:40 | | Why you should care about budgets Putting together a post-college budget is crucial if you don't want to spend your way into serious problems. You're also developing a habit that can serve you well throughout your life."You're committing to managing your money instead of letting your money manage you. You'll probably find it helpful to first track how you're spending money now. Review one of your recent bank statements to get an idea of your current monthly expenses and your monthly take-home pay. Then track every dime you spend for the next three or four days to learn where your discretionary money goes.OK, now what? What your budget looks like will depend on many factors, including what area of the country you live in. People in urban areas tend to spend more on housing than their country cousins, for example, while utility costs will be higher in the Northeast and Midwest than in balmy California.

| Hawaii Taxpayers to Get $1 of State Budget Surplus | | 2008-05-27 23:00:00 | | The Hawaii Constitution requires that the state refund taxes to taxpayers if the general fund is in surplus by at least five percent for two years. Obeying the letter of the law, the state legislature enacted a $1-per-taxpayer income tax credit, which will be paid out on the 2009 tax return.Local tax policy activist Lowell Kalapa says its stingy:Last year, when lawmakers were required to provide a refund credit as a result of the general fund triggering the constitutional mandate, they provided the refund credit only to taxpayers with federal adjusted gross income of less than $60,000. However, the amount of the credit was more generous, with amounts ranging from $160 to $90 for joint returns and from $65 to $25 for single returns on an inversely graduated scale.So does the Governor, who let the bill become law without her signature:In a statement, Governor Linda Lingle says "The token amount in this year's bill comes at a time when families in Hawaii are facing increased costs of | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |

| Budget Airline Oasis Hong Kong in liquidation | | 2008-04-09 22:22:00 | | Hong Kong budget airline Oasis abruptly stopped flying Wednesday, leaving passengers stranded in Hong Kong, London and Vancouver. Passengers who have been caught out have been forced to make their own arrangements home. What a hassle that would be. They have been given phone numbers of other airlines to arrange return flights.Oasis Hong Kong at GatwickI took an Oasis flight last year from London to Hong Kong. It was their price that got me to fly with them. It seems now though that the long haul low cost airline concept might be doomed with spiralling fuel prices. Jet fuel prices nearly doubled in the 18 months that Oasis was operating. Such increases are proving difficult enough for established airlines, let alone newly started airlines.
