It's Almost Tax Time April will be here before you know it, so it's time to begin thinking about filing 2012 taxes. The Department of Revenue (DOR) encourages filing your income tax return electronically between now and the April 15 deadline to get your refund fastest. DOR offers free e-filing online that is secure and confidential. When your e-file, your refund can be deposited directly into your bank account within days. The Department expects about 80% of tax returns to be filed electronically this year. For more information about this option, visit the DOR website. |

 Rep. Kerkman and legislative colleagues at the Kenosha Achievement Center |
Legislative Breakfast at the Kenosha Achievement Center I recently attended the annual Legislative Breakfast at the Kenosha Achievement Center. I enjoyed a lively discussion debating transportation and Medicaid with my colleagues from our area, State Senators Bob Wirch and John Lehman, and State Representative Peter Barca. The Kenosha Achievement Center provides a variety of services for people with disabilities in our area. For more information about the Kenosha Acheivement Center, see their website. |
