I don’t see how this change will bring in new market competitors, which is the only way we get at least some more availability. We are a massive risk. As much as I despise this thought, I’m really starting to wonder if this problem can be solved by the private sector. The private sector exists t...
[quote]How can you claw back and take money from the FD pension fund, the civic giveaway at the community center, or the turning lane added to make traffic around some fat cats house flow better?[/quote] Lack of accountability got us this mess. As far as I am concerned, they can float a bond ...

[quote]Simply untrue. There is a map in this thread that is geographically concise and follows the ludicrous racial requirements.[/quote] We may have different definitions, but that map is clearly superior, that cannot be argued. The idea that "one third of the state is black, so one third of...
[quote]SG continued to receive services from these tax dollars. How much? No one really know[/quote] What would seem fair to me would be to say, ok, this is how much tax dollars were earned in the area, subtract the value of services rec'd, and they are owed the rest. How in the world they can...
[quote]But if you have to frick one of three people over, the one who just made a ton of enemies tends to be the easiest target.[/quote] Leave it to LA to do the easiest thing, instead of the right thing. If you had two very equal options and one of them would involve screwing Graves, fine. ...
[quote]Even then, it’s really not an issue to draw coherent maps. In fact it’s very easy. They just choose not to.[/quote] There's certainly "better" map options out there, but the reality is they are still not going to be terribly concise, becuase the black population is too spread out. I mea...
[quote]I agree it’s possible. But I question whether the La Leg, quite possibly the most incompetent deliberative body in the developed world, is capable of such a strategy.[/quote] The elected "Republicans" we have in Louisiana would struggle in checkers, must less 4D chess. ...

Ted James seems to recognize the black community and culture have issues. However, he blames all of these problems on whitey, and believes only whitey's money, along with a lot of affirmative action, will solve these issues. His politics are closer to the Squad than anything. ...
This will get tossed. It's crazy to me how this was not a 7-0 vote. The three who voted against this clearly don't care about the law. I do believe they will find a judge in the middle district to try to block the ISD from forming if/when it comes to that. It will be overruled on appeal. The b...
[quote]More people having having access to affordable medical care doesn't help at all? That sounds difficult to believe[/quote] For it to help you actually have to use it. Which means scheduling appointments, which can be hard to come by in a rural state like MS. It means being able to take time...

[quote]but they’ll need new leadership for that to happen. Maybe Ted James can be that guy? [/quote] He thinks that the black community needs fixing, and the only way to fix that is to triple the taxes. He thinks personal responsibility will appear if only ther is more money to go around. ...

By the way a 90 day letter is not an audit. And yes the service is making massive mistakes right now. Had a client I consulted with that missed two years of RMDs. We recommended they take them immediately then file a form 5329 for both years (2021 and 2022). 2021 accepted no issue. 202...
