Galloway presses Parson on tax refunds

State Auditor Nicole Galloway is pressing Gov. Mike Parson to update Missourians on the status of their tax refunds.

"My office has heard from Missourians who are waiting on their refunds to pay bills and for necessities," Galloway wrote to Parson in a July 11 letter. "Those bills can't get paid with canned responses and generic excuses. Taxes are processed at the same time every year. There is no excuse for taxpayers to be experiencing this level of dysfunction."

Department of Revenue officials recenty indicated more than 70,000 Missourians are waiting to receive their refunds.
