I came home from work today to find a letter from the Tax Commission–they denied my appeal. I wasn’t angry, or even surprised, which in itself is surprising. I have 30 days in which to request a formal appeal hearing, though I think it’s time to throw in the towel. Based on their reasoning, I’m sure that even if my case went all the way to the Utah Supreme Court, it would be shot down, as was the McBride case mentioned in the Order.
My only hope, however small, is that the legislative committee that met today will be able to effect a rule change. At least somebody in the state government is willing to stand up for what is right, regardless of how politically incorrect it seems to be. This country is going down the shitter as far as political correctness goes, and Utah is the big piece of shit swirling in the center.
