All right, troops. Tenhut! All those ready to get your Indiana automatic refund, take one step forward. Not so fast there, silly Hoosier!
By his own account, Gov. Mitch Daniels never expected his automatic taxpayer refund to kick in while he was in office.
Now a state tax processing error resulting in $320 million more in the bank for the state and improved tax collections could put a nominal amount back in Hoosiers' purses and wallets next year. But a bi-partisan thirst to restore education funding and pay down state debts that languished during the recession could just as easily take that refund away.
Man, they really do hate to give any money back once they've gotten their grubby little hands on it, don't they?
