The tax man giveth

---

What Uncle Sam takes away, he sometimes gives back. And boy theres not a single one among you who dont already have plans for your income tax return. Catching up on past due bills is the general trend although some have more lavish plans, like a trip to Mexico, for that shiny penny.

Im not spending it at all because I owe the government money.

Depends on how much I get back. Most likely I will pay my bills.

Ajay T. Nair
Director, Pan-Asian American Community House

I am not sure if I will get a refund. If I do get a refund I will try to find a worthwhile investment. But I am doubtful that I will get a refund.

Sean Vereen
Program Coordinator, MAKUU: Black Cultural Center
I am probably going to put it in savings so that I can pay off my student loans eventually.

Courtney Mandryk
Assistant to the Director, Kelly Writers House
I have been very thrifty this year tracking my money to the quarter, and I got quite a large tax return and I plan to blow it on a trip to Mexico.
