If something doesn’t change, Americans will see their tax bills go up next month By Lisa Mascaro & Kathleen Hennessey Chicago Tribune
WASHINGTON | The Senate is gone, the House is packing up, and for now that means working Americans will see their taxes rise in January. After weeks of bitter par-
tisan wrangling, the Capitol emptied for the holidays with no sign of negotiation toward a compromise that would save an expiring tax break. As of Jan. 1, the payroll tax cut that has been in place all year is scheduled to return to 6.2 percent from its current 4.2 percent, meaning that bi-
weekly paychecks on average will be $40 smaller. Long-term unemployment benefits for 3 million people also are poised to expire, and doctors face an estimated 20 percent cut in Medicare payments. Facing that unpleasant reality, Republicans fell into an angry family feud over their strategy. Several GOP senators who face re-election next year accused their House GOP colleagues of acting irresponsibly. The House voted
to disagree with the bipartisan bill the Senate had passed to preserve the tax cut for two months so Congress would have more time to work on a full-year extension. Democrats, meantime, were happy to accuse Republicans of voting to block a tax cut and leaving town without finishing their work — the same argument Republicans planned to use on them. “The issue right now is this: The clock is ticking; time is
running out,” President Barack Obama said in a statement at the White House after the vote. “And if the House Republicans refuse to vote for the Senate bill, or even allow it to come up for a vote, taxes will go up in 11 days.” This was not a fight that seasoned Republican lawmakers, most prominent among them House Speaker John A. Boehner of Ohio, would have TAX BREAK continues on A-7

terry.dickson@jacksonville.com
BRUNSWICK, GA. | Chief Superior Court Judge Amanda F. Williams, who once sentenced a man to two weeks in jail for challenging a drug test, will leave office Jan. 2 just nine days before a deadline to answer numerous charges of judicial misconduct, including tyrannical behavior. Williams, 64, advised Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal on Tuesday of her intent to resign after 21 years on the bench. In return for the Judicial Qualifications Commission dropping charges against her, Williams agreed not seek another judicial office or senior judge status. That prohibition is immediate and permanent, the consent order says. By virtue of his seniority, Superior Court Judge E.M. Wilkes III will replace Williams as chief judge of the five-county Brunswick Judicial Circuit. The charges against Williams included that she lied to investigators, a crime under Georgia law. If Williams had not resigned, the commission would have conducted a hearing on all 14 counts and could have sought her removal from the bench. Last week, the commission amended its Nov. 9 complaint in which it accused her of tyrannical behavior, especially in running her drug court, the state’s largest. Williams had imposed indefinite jail terms on drug court defendants, deprived some of contact with their lawyers and jailed one man

Construction planning process fluid, complex By Jeff Brumley

Ongoing highway construction projects — there are 61 of them in Northeast Florida — that close lanes and roads, extend daily commutes and induce occasional outbursts from motorists took more than just years to devise. No, those frustrating and seemingly endless construction projects started out on drawing boards and planning meetings decades ago. “You’re talking something that’s 15 to 20 years in the thinking,” said Jeff Sheffield, executive director of the North Florida Transportation Planning Organization in Jacksonville. Transportation planners are usually nervous about making predictions on what will and won’t be built because the planning is so fluid. “How many days do you have?” the Florida Department of Transportation’s Larry Parks said when asked to describe road construction planning. “There are a lot of moving parts.” The process often begins with lists of needs and wishes from cities and counties based on population growth and commercial development, said Parks, director of the department’s District 2 office of trans-

What does the future hold for older Americans? By Barbara Gavan barbara.gavan@jacksonville.com
In the past five years, this country has seen the direst financial crisis since the great depression. The stock market, the real estate and automotive industries took direct hits. But, economic indicators now are hinting — strongly hinting — that the worst is over and that the nation is on an upward course toward stability.
