Read For Yourself

Bill Hobbs, see link to the left, has been writing excellently on the gymnastic moves by Finance Commissioner Dr. Neel to paint good economic and revenue news as bad. Hobbs sometimes references the numbers Neel uses, and his dodge-and-weave language. You can read the report itself, and I strongly encourage you to do so, at:

The next report, for July and the fiscal year itself, is due in a week's time. It will be interesting to see what Neel does with that expected good news.

Until next time,
