The kicker refund check which is scheduled to go out in early December, will cost the state of Oregon an estimated $2 million in borrowing costs and an estimated $1 million to print and mail the check's.
"I think we need to understand is sending out this kicker as a Christmas present is costing us a lot of money," says Senator Ginny Burdick who chairs the Senate's interim financing revenue committee.
The idea of a credit instead of cash is part of Ted "tax and gouge me" Kulongoski's 30 member tax reform task force discussion before the 2009 legislative session.
They are always trying to find a way to keep our money aren't they?

I would prefer that they used the 'extra' money to pay for the services we are constantly told there is no money for. If there is no money to pay for enough police then why are we getting kickers? Obviously there IS money and it is being spent poorly.
Our Gov. should be tossed out on his ear! Sinus meds at the pharmacy, tax smokes and make the poor people poorer, and cut programs so we can give kicker refunds. I think Ted is still sleeping...at the wheel.
