Memo to: Hawai'i State Tax Collector
Re: Cash Management
Dear Sir:
On April 19, 2004 I sent you form N-11 along with a check for the amount of state income tax due as recorded on that form. I assume you received it within a week. Why, then, did it take your department until June 8, 2004 to deposit said check?
The State has been telling its citizens ad nauseam how poor it is; may I suggest that if you instituted better cash management practices the State might in fact have a smaller problem? Here are some recommendations:
That last item is the key; if you do that, you will undoubtedly increase the flow of cash into State coffers on a timely basis.
Thank you.

Well, was it a unique looking check?
Like, one that has Betty Boop on it, or a Disney Character???
Maybe they just wanted to keep it around and stare at it. Which I would find hard.
Because they are so busy and all.... ;^}
Do I look like the type who'd have gussied-up checks? ;)
