By Demetrius Dillard Special to The Sentinel ANNAPOLIS — Maryland’s Board of Public Works has approved a $159.7-million contract to replace, upgrade and revitalize the state’s tax- processing system, Maryland comp- troller Peter Franchot announced on Dec. 19, 2018. The contract was unanimously awarded to the Pembroke, Mass.- based Revenue Solutions, Inc. Fran- chot expressed delight for the new system, “COMPASS,” which he esti- mates will be highly beneficial to Maryland taxpayers. “I am very excited about our new COMPASS tax system, which will let us process tax returns more quickly and stop tax cheats from stealing Marylanders’ hard-earned money,” Franchot wrote in a release. “For taxpayers, this means an even- speedier tax refund and a more user- friendly experience that will eventu- ally let them view and manage their accounts online.” PHOTO BY JOSÉ UMAÑA The COMPASS tax-processing Maryland Comptroller Peter Franchot system will replace the agency’s State of Maryland Tax (SMART) system, income, sales, property, fuel - under a refunds, and even those who file pa- Computer Assisted Collection Sys- single system. per returns should see faster refunds tem and other antiquated tax-process- The comptroller’s office empha- than they do now. ing systems that operate on outdated, sized that the new system will include Currently, amended tax returns often-unsupported technology plat- the following: improved fraud detec- are processed by hand, but with the forms, according to a statement re- tion and prevention programs; in- new COMPASS system, they will be leased by the comptroller’s office. creased ability for taxpayers to man- processed electronically, and any The comptroller’s office cur- age their accounts via online self-ser- money due should arrive within three rently uses various systems to collect vice applications; maximized days, she said. taxes - one of which is a mainframe compliance with best-practice securi- Businesses also will benefit from business tax- collection system that ty standards, internal controls and the new system, Bonardi said.

JANUARY 10, 2019 THE PRINCE GEORGE’S SENTINEL 19 SPORTS BSU women and men’s basketball edge past Johnson C. Smith

By Demetrius Dillard Special to The Sentinel BOWIE — The Bowie State University women’s basketball team opened the new year with a tough Central Intercollegiate Athletic Asso- ciation (CIAA) matchup against Johnson C. Smith, who proved to be one of the Lady Bulldogs tougher challenges this season. Pere Alexander put together a sold second-half, finishing with a team-high 14 points, two rebounds and two steals to lead BSU to a nar- row comeback win over JCSU, 60- 57, on Jan. 5 at A.C. Jordan Arena. Bowie also got double-double performances from forward Kyaja Williams, who recorded 11 points and 10 rebounds and forward Dy- naisha Christian, (10 points and 12 rebounds). Bowie held JCSU to under 30 percent shooting in the second half as opposed to 47 percent in the first half. Missed assignments on defense and insufficient rebounding were the pri- mary reasons the Bulldogs trailed 32- 29 at halftime. Fortunately, they turned things around beginning in the third quarter. “I’m definitely proud. We showed a lot of heart,” Head Coach Shadae Swan said moments after Bowie’s close win. “Our intensity was there. We played smarter. We did all of the little things like getting on the floor, box- ing out, rebounding - so I’m definite- ly proud of the way we turned things around in the second half.” PHOTO BY CORY ROYSTER Alexander scored 11 second- Bowie State’s Chyna Butler drives past the Johnson C.
