Missouri Gov. Mike Parson says state lawmakers are
"grandstanding" by holding numerous hearings to discuss a tax refund problem
caused by a mistake on state tax withholding tables.
Parson on Wednesday defended Revenue Director Joel Walters handling of the
problem, which could cost thousands of Missouri taxpayers on their state income
tax returns for 2018.
Parson noted that Walters has testified at
10 hearings so far about the issue. He says the revenue department has worked to
fix the 15-year-old miscalculation on withholding tables, and Walters is
focusing on solutions, rather than political grandstanding.
The miscalculation, which has been corrected, could sharply reduce or eliminate
many people's state refunds.
Some lawmakers say the revenue department did a poor job of warning Missourians
about the problem.
