    As a CPA, I’m actually interested in tax policy in a more in depth fashion than tea partiers who oppose all taxes on principle.  Opportunities to write about this topic, though, have been few and far between.  Thanks to our newly minted all-Republican legislature, I now have my shot.

The two-floors-plus-basement Y will not include: a pool, racquetball court, basketball court, parking lot or crazy homeless person [...]
