Affordable Care Act provides expanded Tax Benefit to Health Professionals working in Underserved Areas
Some Who Received Student Loan Relief May Qualify for Tax Refunds
Washington, DC – As part of a larger Administration announcement today on efforts to strengthen the health care workforce, the Internal Revenue Service announced today that under the Affordable Care Act, health care professionals who received student loan relief under state programs that reward those who work in underserved communities may qualify for refunds on their 2009 federal income tax returns as well as an annual tax cut going forward.
“Doctors and nurses who choose to practice in underserved areas make a great contribution to their local communities,” Commissioner Doug Shulman said. “By expanding the tax exclusion for student loan forgiveness, the Affordable Care Act provides an even greater incentive to practice medicine in areas that need it most.”
The Affordable Care Act included a change in the law, effective in 2009, that expands a tax exclusion for amounts received by health professionals under loan repayment and forgiveness programs. Prior to the new law, only amounts received under the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program or certain state loan repayment programs eligible for funding under the Public Health Service Act qualified for a tax exclusion. «Read the rest of this article»
My Official Position on the East-West Corridor
By Gabriel Rasmus Segovia
The East -West Corridor being debated by our Clarksville City Council is a hotly contested plan. The immediate families who stand to lose multi-generational farms are among the most vocal opponents, along with other property and home owners in the path of the proposed road from Gate 1 to Wilma Rudolph.
I recently attended a public hearing held at the Kleeman Center on this proposed road. At this meeting, I was able to ask several key planners on this project some specific questions. After reflecting on the answers I was given, I made a decision about what I would recommend the best course of action should be.
Let me start by saying that the first question I always ask is, “How much is this going to cost?” When I spoke to the person who should know the answer, he told me that the figure given to the public at that meeting ($30 million) was a three year old estimate. I asked another person there, and he told me that you can add about 3% per year for inflation, but even then that figure was a rough estimate. «Read the rest of this article»

East – West Corridor
By Councilman Bill Summers
On the evening of June 10th, the city held a public informational meeting at the Kleeman Community Center. The purpose was to provide background information to property owners affected by the proposed East-West Corridor, also known as Jack Miller Blvd.
A couple of months ago the Planning Commission alerted the city council that proposed new residential developments in and around the 2007 proposed corridor were about to close it off completely. Traffic engineers and long term planners had marked this corridor as a “must have” given that all the traffic models and population growth patterns predicted that by year 2030/35 existing roads would be inadequate. «Read the rest of this article»
