On Friday, January 25, U.S. Senator Russ Feingold will hold a listening session in MPL's Centennial Hall from 4:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m.
Each year Senator Feingold holds listening sessions in every county of the state. These sessions are opportunities for residents to share their ideas and concerns with him.
From the Senator's Website:
“I again look forward to meeting with constituents in Milwaukee County,” Senator Feingold said. “These listening sessions are an excellent opportunity for me to hear directly from constituents about any issues or concerns they may have, and I appreciate the effort people make to attend these meetings and let their voices be heard. Their ideas and advice continue to enable me to serve the people of Wisconsin to the best of my ability.”
On February 13, President Bush signed the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, which will give a total of $152 billion to millions of Americans.
Starting in May, the U.S. Treasury will begin sending economic stimulus payments to more than 130 million American individuals/households. To receive the payment, a 2007 income tax return must be filed - from which payments will automatically be issued to qualifying filers. Payment amounts will be based on 2007 income tax returns or information provided by Social Security Administration, Veterans Administration and/or Railroad Retirement administrators. (from the IRS Website)
For more information about these payments, see the General Information and Frequently Asked Questions sections of the IRS Website.
