“I am happy to announce to my fellow hard-working Nevadans that their check, their rebate check is truly in the mail. Nevadans can expect to see over $292 million in tax relief arriving in their mailboxes this summer. Now, that is real help. This equates to an average tax rebate check of over $420 for every hard-working taxpayer in the silver State. It is about time. The people of Nevada and our great country have been paying far too much in taxes for far too long. Thanks to this bipartisan tax relief bill passed by this Congress and signed into law by President Bush, single taxpayers can expect tax rebates of up to $300 and married tax filers can expect up to $600 in tax relief. This money can go toward paying the mortgage, a car loan, or a new washing machine or even gasoline for one's car. These tax rebate checks are just the beginning. Americans can expect additional tax relief over the next 10 years. Mr. Speaker, this time Nevadans can be assured that their check their overpayment in taxes is in the mail.”
