Looking out for the little guy

After getting through the '09 rescission
bill, any stimulus money that is going to come in is going to help
greatly," said Rep. Eber Phelps, D-Hays.


"That's one more year we can keep people in their homes (and) give them services."


Phelps said there has been talk of rejecting the stimulus package,
but he thinks the state might reject only small pieces of the funding,
especially the extension of unemployment benefits.


"We need to utilize the stimulus package to the best of our abilities," Phelps said.

Rejecting funding for unemployment really helps keep people in their homes.

Speaking of homeowners, for those who didn't know there's a new tax rule allowing homeowners to deduct insurance, property taxes, and interest on home loans without itemizing.
