Birmingham, AL - The judge over Jefferson County's occupational tax dispute says the time has come for taxpayers to get their money.

Judge David Rains ordered attorneys to work together developing a strategy to repay about $48 million. They will use a claims administrator to manage the refunds.

Attorneys disagree over whether to issue refunds directly to employees or to their employers for them to distribute.
 
Attorney for the county, Bill Slaughter, says he is willing to transfer to the money from an escrow account to the claims administrator as long as attorneys do not issue refunds without the judge's approval.

Taxpayers attorneys want the refunds sent out by early next year.  Rains called that overly ambitious.

I've waited this long so I can wait a little longer, now we need to go after the CROOKS that took it from us in the first place and tried so very hard to keep us from ever getting it back. I want everyone of these jerks loses the next election NO MATTER what it is they are running for. I want BATTY, SMUT and BOOB thrown out of office and into jail for going hand in hand with LaLaLarry and the BOGUS SEWER BOND SALE there is NO WAY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH that they did not receive money , clothes or something else for their vote and please don't forget them using a County car while being paid not to drive one. Why have charges not been filed against these crooks, what is it that they are waiting on, I'm glad to see Shelia Smut being investigated but she just like every demoCRAP caught with their hands in the cookie jar will scream it's a Republican smear campaign just like Dandy Don, LaLaLarry and Trick Dick.
