MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Alabama taxpayers expecting refunds may
have to wait up to two months before getting a check this year.
State Revenue Commissioner Tim Russell says the state is taking
six to eight weeks to return refunds to taxpayers. Alabama has so
far paid $275 million in refunds this fiscal year. In fiscal year
2008, the department refunded $518 million.
Russell says a reason for the delay is a slowing cash flow due
to the economic downturn.
He says he hopes the pace picks up soon. The department is
required to pay interest starting July 16.

Great!
Isn’t it about time Alabama starts river boat gambling, and a lotto?
You don’t hear about these problems (school funding too) in Ms, and FL!
