I remember reading a while back that state tax refunds were going to be mailed more slowly than usual. The story was that the Arizona Department of Revenue couldn’t hire enough temporary workers to handle the typical flood of tax returns at this time of year because of the state’s budget problems.
But only one week after I mailed in my 2007 state tax return, my refund of several hundred dollars has been deposited in my checking account. If only all of state government could be so efficient when dealing with the public.
