Taxpayer Rights: What You Need to Know If You Get Audited
The three most intimidating letters of the alphabet for most Americans are I-R-S. Very few things strike more fear in a taxpayer's heart than the thought of being audited by the Internal Revenue Service...

Killeen ISD takes ‘first step’ toward layoffs
Described as a "first step" by school board president Mike Helm, the Killeen Independent School District declared a state of "financial exigency" this week, setting the stage for job layoffs and program reductions in the face of revenue cuts estimated between $16 million and $39 million.
The declaration was made Thursday night following a 90-minute executive session between KISD trustees.

It's About The Budget...Stupid!
Thumbing today through the Wall Street Journal Online Edition, I was struck by the manner in which legislators and public official meet demanding budgets. Cut Education!
Now then, it doesn't take a College Professor or a High School Principal to know -- This Means Teacher Layoffs...
As painful as this will be (trust me, I Know), it comes from this perspective...
It's About The Budget...Stupid!
Over the last 3-5 years, private industry has suffered through PAINFUL cuts in jobs, capital improvements, etc. The blood-letting is beginning to subside. The Private Funds the Public. Make sense?
In turn, a Trickle-Down economy manifests a scorched-earth -- in a Down Economy. What makes anyone believe that Sacred Cows (the public education system) would be immune to the blood-letting as well.
I'M FOR Education
I'm an advocate for Kids; I'm for raising teacher salaries. Yet, I'm against Fraud, Waste, and Abuse. Therefore, I must ask this of our Public Administrators (Mayors, City Managers, School Administrators...): 'Are we doing ALL we can do to gain every possible bit of efficiency out of the public's (as well as corporate) tax dollars?
What are your thoughts? I'd learn to hear from you all --even if you don't share my views...

Testing the Kool-Aid
No, I haven't lost my mind. This is NOT a cruel hoax. Yes, I know; I emailed out this very same article; thru my sister site, eResumes4Vips.com Newsletter list last week. But...
NO ONE READ IT! Well, except for 2 subscribers. How do I know? My 'Stats' told me.
How is it that there are 242 subscribers to the eResumes4Vips News, yet open 2 people bothered to open it?
-The Customer is Always Right!
I've consulted with a well-known copyright that admonished: "Andre, it's your own Darn Fault! Of course no one is opening your newsletter...the Headline is totally off."
Thinking back, I'd tend to agree. My headline is kinda like a fresh-baked pound cake
-- WITHOUT ICING --.
-So Here We Go!
I'm revamping, testing, and twisting my headline(s). Hey, a 100% improvement will give me, 4 subscriber opening instead of the current, 2. Subscribers will see this subject line in their email: eResumes4Vips-News #50 -I Admit, I'm Fat!
Hey, whoever said that running an Internet-based business would be easy? Oh yeah...I DID!
