Featured Article: Tax 2.0 Storm Brewing in States Over Federal Deduction Cap States will have few options in trying to circumvent the cap on the state and local tax deduction if the House Republicans succeed in making it permanent. Democrat-leaning, mostly high-tax states that have led the charge to circumvent the $10,000 cap have begun to fire back at the effort, which is part of a bill (H.R. 6760) approved by the House Ways and Means Committee Sept. 13. Politicians have vowed retaliation, calling the move to extend the cap “beyond shameless” and “an attack on blue states.” If the extension passes Congress, tax practitioners say, states and their affected taxpayers will lack any practicable workaround because of recent IRS regulations that limit the most popular state response to the cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions. The Ways and Means Committee rejected an amendment introduced by Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) that would have repealed the cap, which was imposed by the 2017 tax law. Even if the House succeeds in passing the bill, the Senate is unlikely to endorse it. State News Roundup Connecticut Students can apply for CHET scholarships Connecticut high school freshmen and seniors are encouraged to apply for the 2018 CHET Advance Scholarship.

Up to 100 high school seniors with a grade point average of 2.0 or above will be eligible for a $2,500 scholarship. — Greenwich Times Delaware Office of the State Treasurer Bank Reconciliations Agreed-Upon Procedures Report State Auditor, R. Thomas Wagner, Jr., has released the Independent Accountants’ Report on Applying Agreed-Upon Procedures for the Office of the State Treasurer Bank Reconciliations for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Delaware.gov Illinois Treasurer touts program for those with disabilities Page 2 of 6 In a brief visit to the Jacksonville Area Center for Independent Living, state Treasurer Michael Frerichs discussed a new savings program for those with disabilities and brainstormed ways he could get the message to those eligible. JACIL Executive Director Becky McGinnis said Frerichs toured the facility Monday and then discussed ways in which he and his staff could effectively get the word out about ABLE, or Achieving a Better Life Experience, accounts. The accounts are a boon to those with disabilities that also receive Supplemental Security Income, which prohibits recipients from possessing over $2,000 in personal assets. — The Telegraph Watch your mailbox for an unexpected check Illinois State Treasurer Mike Frerichs stopped in downtown Moline Wednesday morning and said taxpayers who are owed $2,000 or less will be sent checks. The new 'money match' program automatically returns lost money to people in Illinois without the usual need for paperwork or filing a claim. Frerichs says the money match program uses existing technology and state records to match unclaimed cash with qualifying state taxpayers. QuadCities.com Ill. treasurer introduces easier way to get money back If you are missing money, Illinois state Treasurer Michael Frerichs has made it easier for you to get it back. Lost and unclaimed money will now find its way to Illinois residents faster thanks to Money Match, a new program launched by Frerichs. Money Match will find Illinois taxpayers who are owed $2,000 or less and send them checks automatically, without them having to file a claim or fill out paperwork. — Quad-City Times Indiana Pete the Planner: Make sure college education is worth the cost The retirement crisis’s roots can be traced back to the 1980s. That's when employers began abandoning defined benefit plans, more commonly known as pensions, in lieu of defined contribution plans, such as the 401(k). You can certainly argue the crisis was caused by the transition itself, which I’d struggle to disprove, but I believe the real issue was the lack of reaction to the changes, by the people who were affected by the changes. — Indy Star Iowa College Savings Iowa is celebrating 20 years with over $20,000 of giveaways This September and October, College Savings Iowa is celebrating 20 years of savings. State Treasurer Michael L. Fitzgerald launched the program in 1998 and helped the program grow to where it is now. “I am proud of how many families we have been able to help achieve their educational goals over the last 20 years due to the success of College Savings Iowa,” said Fitzgerald. “We are excited to keep this momentum going in the years to come as we encourage more families to save for a bright future.” — The Mapleton Press Louisiana Louisiana treasurer Schroder: Let's be clear -- I didn't support increase in sales taxes I’m writing so that Louisiana taxpayers aren’t misled into thinking I supported an increase in state sales taxes simply because I praised an improvement in the state’s credit rating. I did not. Yes, it’s a good thing that two national rating agencies have improved the outlook on the state’s credit. A higher credit rating for the state is a good thing. A stabilized budget is one of the reasons for the improvement because it’s no secret the rating agencies like stability. — The Advocate Michigan State Treasurer State of Michigan Has $887,000 Position in Callon Petroleum Page 3 of 6 State Treasurer State of Michigan increased its holdings in Callon Petroleum (NYSE:CPE) by 12.2% in the second quarter, according to its most recent disclosure with the Securities & Exchange Commission. The institutional investor owned 82,600 shares of the oil and natural gas company’s stock after buying an additional 9,000 shares during the period.

The auction begins at 9 a.m. both days with previews an hour before. — Missourian Massachusetts Goldberg Announces Revere Receives $594K in Principal Forgiveness Funds for Water Projects State Treasurer Deb Goldberg, Chair of the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust, announced more than $7.5 million in loan principal forgiveness for 17 projects in nine communities statewide, including Revere which received $594,502. The principle forgiveness funds are administered on a competitive basis to cities and towns most in need of financial assistance to help pay for improvements to drinking water and infrastructure.“Providing these funds to local communities will save the ratepayers money and protect the health of the citizens and the environment,” said Treasurer Goldberg. “This $7.5 million is another example of the excellent work the Trust does saving our local communities money.” — Revere Journal Massachusetts has millions of dollars worth of unclaimed property Massachusetts residents are being urged to check the state's website to see if they're owed any money from unclaimed property. On Wednesday, State Treasurer Deb Goldberg said her office added more than 44,000 new unclaimed property owners to its list. Unclaimed property includes forgotten savings and checking accounts, uncashed checks, insurance policy proceeds, stocks, dividends, and contents of safe deposit boxes. — WPRI-TV Oklahoma College Savings Plan launches sweepstakes State Treasurer Ken Miller announced the kickoff of the Oklahoma 529 College Savings Plan's inaugural Pigskin Piggybank Sweepstakes, which will see one Oklahoma family win $5,529 for college, plus $5,529 for their student's school. "We want Oklahoma families to huddle up and make a game plan to pay for college," said Miller. "Some families might be tempted to punt these important decisions into the future, but starting to save early can move families closer to their savings goal." — Tahlequah Daily Press Pension wisdom needs to continue in OK Legislature State Treasurer Ken Miller used the lead article in his latest monthly economic report to note the strong gains seen in the state's seven public employee pension systems.

  • State Treasurers Urge More Drug Companies to Help Fight Opioid Epidemic
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: September 5, 2017 Paris Ervin 217.524.5749 Greg Rivara 312.814.1901 State Treasurers Urge More Drug Companies to Help Fight Opioid Epidemic Accountability Sought at Cardinal Health and AmerisourceBergen September 5, 2017 – Drug companies Cardinal Health and AmerisourceBergen must act to address the heroin and opioid epidemic or face potential financial consequences in their stock prices, state treasurers from Illinois, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and California said today. In letters sent to both companies, the coalition of state treasurers urged the nation’s second and third largest drug distributors to take concrete steps to alleviate the heroin and opioid epidemic. Should no action be taken, each treasurer’s office would re-evaluate its financial position in the companies and strongly encourage other institutional investors to do the same. This is the second wave of actions taken by treasurers seeking greater accountability at pharmaceutical companies in the wake of the nation’s spiraling opioid crisis. In July, treasurers from West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Illinois penned a letter to drug distributor McKesson Corp. asking the company to take specific steps to address the epidemic and protect shareholder value. Days later, McKesson announced it would split the roles of Board Chair and CEO, a move applauded by the treasurers and other investors seeking more oversight and accountability at the company. “Heroin addiction is tied directly to the overuse of opioid painkillers, and the overuse of opioid painkillers is tied directly to Big Pharma,” Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs said. “The industry needs to acknowledge its role in this crisis and take immediate action if we have any hope to save lives and stop this national crisis.” “The opioid epidemic has affected every community across Pennsylvania in some way, forever changing the landscape and the lives of our families, friends and neighbors,” Pennsylvania State Treasurer Joe Torsella said.

  • Keystone Savings Accounts: Investing in Brighter Futures for All Pennsylvania Children
    Keystone Savings Accounts: Investing in Brighter Futures for All Pennsylvania Children As Pennsylvania State Treasurer, Joe Torsella will work to establish automatic college/vocational training savings accounts for every child born in Pennsylvania, an initiative that can increase access to higher education, improve graduation rates, foster lifelong financial literacy and wealth-building, and help to bridge our growing income gap. Establishing a savings account early in life has a powerful impact on a child’s future. Research shows that it dramatically increases the likelihood of attending college, at a time when individuals with a bachelor’s or associate’s degree earn significantly more than high school graduates – by some estimates, up to a million dollars more in lifetime income. 1 Treasurers around the country have been pioneering new approaches to lifting the financial fortunes of low and middle-income families. 2 As Pennsylvania Treasurer, Joe Torsella will build on such innovations in other states to establish Keystone Accounts for Pennsylvania: a universal and automatic savings account established for every child born in our Commonwealth, seeded with an initial modest contribution, and designated for college or vocational training. Torsella will work with partners in state government, as well as in the financial and philanthropic sectors, to create a wealth-building, college-going culture that empowers all of Pennsylvania’s families. Joe Torsella on College Savings Accounts for Every Pennsylvanian Child: “I’m running because I think the Treasurer has a vital role to play in addressing the great challenge of our time: turning back the rising tide of inequality, rebuilding our middle class, and creating opportunity for every Pennsylvanian.

  • Five State Treasurers Call on Manufacturers to Release Ventilator Repair Manuals
    NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release April 14, 2020 FIVE STATE TREASURERS CALL ON MANUFACTURERS TO RELEASE VENTILATOR REPAIR MANUALS Hospitals should be able to make repairs to ventilators to serve more patients, treasurers say Harrisburg, PA — Pennsylvania Treasurer Joe Torsella today joined with Delaware Treasurer Colleen Davis, Illinois Treasurer Michael Frerichs, Rhode Island Treasurer General Seth Magaziner, and Colorado Treasurer Dave Young to call on manufacturers of ventilators to release service manuals to repair ventilators, for the duration of the coronavirus pandemic. Without this critically important information, hospitals are unable to make repairs to ventilators, rendering them unusable during a time of dire need. “In a public health crisis, every second counts,” said Torsella. “There shouldn’t be a single ventilator sitting in a closet because a hospital, already under extreme pressure, isn’t able to make necessary repairs to it. I call on manufacturers of this lifesaving equipment to release this information and remove this barrier that hospitals are facing.” In a letter, the treasurers expressed their concern for hospitals that have ventilators in stock, but are unable to use them due to repairs that are needed. It is of particular concern that rural or needy hospitals that may use secondhand equipment without a service contract are unable to make their own repairs without the proper manuals from the manufacturers. “Having enough ventilators to care for critically ill patients is vital,” said Delaware State Treasurer Colleen Davis. “If the ventilators malfunction and operators don’t have manuals on how to make repairs, the results could be tragic.” The American Hospital Association has estimated that 960,000 Americans with COVID-19 will require treatment using a ventilator, while there are only 170,000 ventilators in the United States.
