Back to Reality – One Step at a Time
Is it possible to get back to reality after the covid pandemic? It is a million-dollar question, but all of us are taking all efforts to get back to normalcy and live the life that we once rejoiced. With massive vaccinations and strengthening the health care infrastructure, we hope to get back to reality, perhaps one step at a time. But the acts of refraining from handshakes and washing the hands frequently will stay with us forever, as they are lessons for a generation and that the pandemic taught us these lessons in a hard way. Getting Back To Reality Step By Step We are currently at the beginning of the end of the pandemic and waiting eagerly for a new start. Until we attain the stage called herd immunity and at least 75% of the population being vaccinated, we will not be traveling and partying like before. As we move towards this new beginning, these are the things that we can expect to open and happen shortly. Accepting The New Normal Several restrictions have been imposed on people when the pandemic first made its ugly presence in our world. People found it very difficult to cope up with them…

Hill Looks to Marines or Football for Next Move
Onsted High School running back Travis Hill (5) makes a move during the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 6 semifinal football game last fall. Photo by Jeff Steers, JTV Sports. By Jeff Steers JTV Sports Onsted High School senior Travis Hill knows a thing or two about comebacks. He was injured most of his junior season, watching the Wildcats struggle to a 3-6 season in football. The Wildcats went on an eight-game winning streak in football after losing a pair of Lenawee County Athletic Association games early in the 2019 season. And the senior recently failed a hearing test for enlistment into the Marines, but hopes that subsequent tests will get him back into the military life. Lessons about comebacks may have helped Hill deal with the cancellation of his final baseball season as a senior. The COVID-19 pandemic postponed the spring sports season in March and permanently closed the book on Hill and other seniors in early April when schools were closed for the year. When the Michigan High School Athletic Association followed suit a couple of days later, the highly successful sports career for Hill was over. “When it first happened, I thought were going to take…

Treasury: Business Taxpayers Can Make Sales, Use and Withholding Tax Payments in June
(May 17, 2020) In support of businesses navigating their way through the COVID-19 pandemic, the Michigan Department of Treasury today issued a notice that provides business taxpayers additional time pay their Sales, Use and Withholding (SUW) taxes. Business taxpayers who were scheduled to make SUW tax payments due in March, April and May – including quarterly filers – can postpone filing requirements until June 20, 2020. The state Treasury Department will waive penalties and interest on those deferred payments. We have carefully listened to the concerns of our business partners,” State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks said. “Moving the sales, use and withholding tax deadline until June and providing other repayment options will help taxpayers navigate their way through this crisis.” The state Treasury Department will provide more information in the future for business taxpayers who desire additional repayment options. Business taxpayers are encouraged to file SUW tax returns and pay taxes owed as of the original due date if able to do so. Discounts will still be applied if payments are received on time. The waiver is not available for accelerated sales, use or withholding tax filers. Businesses with questions should inquire through self-service options using Michigan Treasury Online or go to www.michigan.gov/askSUW. To learn more about…
