Not much different when its comes to RI state taxes.
You owe=jail.
They owe=to bad for me.
Right now in this country when it comes to local,state and federal government its basically become they can do whatever it takes to grab your cash.
Rhode Island has become a joke.Soda tax?Yup it'll probably happen and the crazy thing is the majority will go for it.Look at the town of Tiverton,the majority actually voted for an 8% increase in property taxes at the FTM so that the teachers can get hefty pay increases to still produce some of the most poorly educated kids the RI school system can produce.And the kicker is there's basically a clause in that budget that will allow for another 4% increase next year and the with all the details this increase in total over the next several years to equal a whopping possible 22% increase in total local taxes levied.You shoulda seen the look on the town councilpersons' and the union officials and the teachers' faces:
So no it does not surprise me even slightly that these folks were denied their jackpot because the state screwed up!
