| Accountancy Professors Bill
Cenker (above, right), Jerry Weinstein and Bob Sullens (retired) were among the experts
and other taxpayers who testified today before State Representative Sally Conway Kilbane
(above, left) and the committee she chairs on tax reform. The meeting took place at CWRU's
Crawford Hall. Among the points Dr. Cenker raised was the fact that taxpayers' Ohio filing
status drives their federal status, a situation that complicates their filing process and
increases their federal tax burden. "This has been a thorn in my side for many
years," he said. At the conclusion of Dr. Cenker's presentation, State Representative
Charles Blasdel II responded, "As a person who is practicing in the (accounting)
field, let me just say 'ditto' to your comments." Representative Kilbane's committee
is seeking to identify the strengths and weaknesses in Ohio's tax code and recommend
improvements. Her husband Tom is a '63 alumnus. |
