Kenneth N. Caudell: Surplus from poor, elderly

Regarding the May 7 news article “Projections show $400M budget surplus”: So the state expects a $400 million tax surplus?

It’s easy to understand from where it came: through milking the poor, the sick and the elderly with the loss of their deductions. And, oh, yes, again there’s likely to be another corporate tax break (same story).

It’s time the legislature remembered the people again.
