The Biggest Mistake by Taxpayers This Time of Year ~ Cory Burnell, CFA
Posted by: thepinetree on 04/11/2016 07:57 PM
Valley Springs, CA...It's time again to file tax returns and suffer the burden that is INCOME TAX. If your Adjusted Gross Income is over $36,841 (as of 2013 data), you are among the half of Americans who pay more than 97% of the federal income taxes collected*. So what can you do to keep more of your hard earned money in your pocket rather than Uncle Sam's? It's really simple, but likely you forget to do this most years. In fact, it's the most common mistake I see as a financial advisor every year: failure to shift savings into an IRA.

A Note From Calaveras County Supervisor Steve Kearney, District 5
Posted by: thepinetree on 04/10/2016 09:34 PM
Rancho Calaveras, CA...I have been presented with a Notice of Intent to Recall my seat as a Calaveras County Supervisor. This action is being brought by a small group of ‘elites’ that feel the ‘wants and wishes’ of a select few should outweigh the ‘needs and wishes’ of the many in Calaveras County. The basis for their claim is not factual and is completely inaccurate (details below). This group is not new and has a long history of inflicting ‘economic terrorism’ against the people of Calaveras County which has resulted in keeping Calaveras County one of the poorest in the state, which is a distinction I want to change for the better. During my election it was no secret that I stood for jobs and economic growth for Calaveras County. I welcome the opportunity to reaffirm my commitment to bringing quality growth and economic prosperity to all. I encourage all of you to join me in rejecting the anti-job movement and let’s make Calaveras County economically healthy for our children and grandchildren.
