Chris,

Seems the problems with state sales tax in NJ is somewhat contagious. I have received a letter from The State of Connecticut Department of Revenue Services questioning my payment of sales tax 1 1/2 years ago, when I bought my airplane. At first I though this was an isolated audit, but I have spoken to many other pilots at my airport and they all seemed to have gotten the same letter. A lot of these folks have owned their airplanes for quite a number of years and they are all hoping they can produce records showing their payment.

This has created quite a stir at our airport with some people threatening to call the State Attorney General for an investigation into where their funds went and how there are no records of this many transactions.

Kirk, or anyone else in CT, I'd be interested in knowing if you have gotten one of these intimidating letters. Have to wonder just how wide spread this is and how much it cost the taxpayers to do a records check on something they should already have records of.

Our government at work.........time to make someone accountable!!!
