The day of taxes
Tomorrow is Tax Day. The government says most of you ... most Americans ... wait until April 15 to file their taxes. Staff writers Stephanie Hoops (shoops@VenturaCountyStar.com) and Kevin Clerici (kclerici@VenturaCountyStar.com) are putting together a tax story for us for tomorrow. It will include tips on last minute filing, where to file, how to file late and etc. (etc. meaning the story will have a bunch of other stuff, but I don't know what it is).
Stephanie will also do a story on how folks are spending their tax refund checks, which this year average 6 percent more than last year.
And here is what else we're looking at for Page One for tomorrow:
Congress is nearing passage of a bill that would make it impossible for thousands of people to wipe away their debts in bankruptcy court. We'll look at local reaction to the bill which is being hailed as the biggest overhaul of bankruptcy law in 25 years.
Three people, including a Texas businessman, have been indicted in a scheme to pay millions of dollars in kickbacks to Saddam Hussein as part of the U.N.'s oil for food program.
The Oregon Supreme Court has nullified nearly 3,000 marriage licenses issued to same-sex couples.
And two car bombs in Iraq have killed 18 people.
