Reinvest in the Tax Collection Business

Re “Windfall to State May Be Fleeting,” April 5: The state expected millions from a tax amnesty program. Instead it got billions.

Now politicos and public servants are arguing over how to spend this windfall.

It should be obvious that the best and first use for these funds should be expanding tax law enforcement. It is manifest that our state is afflicted with far more tax cheaters than anyone had previously imagined.

Every dollar spent on enforcement should bring in many times that in otherwise uncollected revenue.

Let’s get that money collected, then argue over how to spend it.
