Broadband Tax Credit Cut from Stimulus Bill - New York Times
12.02.09
It looks like the tax credit for companies that install new broadband service was cut from the latest version of the economic stimulus bill. The bill still would award more than $6 billion in grants to help build high-speed Internet service, mainly in rural areas.
Even though Senate leaders boasted that they had reached a compromise with the House over the stimulus bill, no text has been published yet. Still, word of the result of the Congressional horse-trading is ricocheting around Washington.
A Congressional staff member, a lobbyist and two financial analysts all told me that they believe the controversial tax credit, originally proposed by Senator John D. Rockefeller IV, the West Virginia Democrat, has been eliminated. The same fact was also reported by the Dow Jones News Service, attributed to “people familiar” with the legislation.
The initial draft of the tax credit raised eyebrows because it appeared to favor Verizon Communications. Mr. Rockefeller later proposed a new version of the credit that restricted the benefits to companies installing new service in rural or unserved areas. But this change didn’t make it into the final Senate version. As the House didn’t propose any tax credits for broadband service, the entire concept is said to have been dropped in the negotiations between the House and Senate.
Has anyone heard of a tax credit regarding Iowa floods ?
Jan 30, 2009 by NavyBrat | Posted in United States
I was not personally hit by the flood but I housed two families in my home until they could get their own homes back. Someone told me I, as a "provider", could claim a tax credit for this year's income taxes ? Does anyone know where I can check on this ? The flood happened June 13 and one family lived with me until August 26.
You should be able to find answer here. Almost positive if you took in victims, you are eligible. In fact, I believe if you even live in federal declared disaster area and not effected, you are still eligible. But you can check yourself.

If I attend a Community college usually how many credits will transfer to a 4 year unversity?
Sep 21, 2008 by kart, go ILLINI(unc sucks) | Posted in Higher Education (University +)
In my two years at a CC im gonna get about 60-70 credits about how many will transfer im hopeing 50. and these are the universities im going to transfer to
University of Illinois-urbana champaign rank 35
Vanderbilt university- rank 18
university of iowa rank 61
university of georgia rank 54
how many credits will those universities take?
It depends on the university, the classes you take in community college, and the program you choose at the university. Also your grades - you usually need at least a C in the course for it to transfer.
Go to the websites for each of those schools and look at the admissions section, and within that, the part on transferring, and you should get an idea.
I think most or all of your credits can transfer. Some schools are pickier than others, though, and may feel a community college course isn't comprehensive enough to count for credit for them. This is probably more in the sciences, but again, most sciences should transfer, too.
