MCO TRAFFIC PLANNERS S.S.

THE TRANSPORTATION AGENCY OF MONTEREY COUNTY HAS AGREED TO CONTINUE WITH THEIR PLANS FOR A TRANSPORTATION CENTER IN SALINAS. TOWARDS THAT END THEY WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH THE NECESSARY ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES. CURRENTLY THE SALINAS RAIL DEPOT IS USED ONLY AS AN AMTRAK STATION??BUT T.A.M.C. WANTS IT TO BECOME A RAIL AND BUS STATION. IF THE PLANS MOVE FORWARD (AS PROPOSED), THE AGENCY WOULD HAVE TO USE THE AMERICAN SUPPLY BUILDING FOR PARKING, A MOVE THAT WOULD REQUIRE AN ?EMINENT DOMAIN? ACTION.

DRAFT COPIES OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES WILL LIKELY BE COMPLETED SOMETIMES THIS SUMMER. THE FINAL E.I.R. IS SCHEDULED TO BE FINISHED BY MARCH OF 2006.

TAX AMNESTY ENDS THIS MONTH vs

THERE ARE ONLY A FEW DAYS LEFT FOR CALIFORNIA TAX CHEATERS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE FIRST GENERAL AMNESTY OFFER IN TWO DECADES. APPLICANTS CAN SHED PENALTIES ON UNPAID PERSONAL INCOME TAXES, CORPORATE TAX, AND USE TAXES INCURRED IN 2002 AND EARLIER YEARS. BUT THOSE WHO PASS UP THE AMNESTY WILL FACE NEW AND STIFFER PENALTIES. SO FAR, THE FRANCHISE TAX BOARD AND THE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION HAVE NETTED LESS THAN 10 PERCENT OF THE STATE'S GOAL. BUT OFFICIALS ARE HOPEFUL SINCE IN THE PAST HUGE NUMBERS OF PROCRASTINATORS CAME THROUGH THE LAST MINUTE. THE AMNESTY PERIOD TECHNICALLY CLOSES MARCH 31ST , BUT APPLICANTS GET AN EXTRA DAY BECAUSE IT'S A STATE HOLIDAY. ONCE THEY FILE, THEY HAVE UNTIL MAY 31ST TO PAY UP.
