Dyas Calls for Congress to Restore Accountability in Government
Democratic senatorial hopeful Hess Dyas told a Sidney town meeting that blame for poor accountability rests with Congress not bureaus. He urged preapproved programs, a veto power over flawed plans, and sunset rules with proof of usefulness, plus tax simplification and higher personal exemptions. He criticized rival records, spoke on agriculture and urban issues, and outlined policies to aid farmers and curb inflation.

Few loopholes remain for taxpayers slow in meeting deadline
The IRS extended filing time for many taxpayers who used Form 4868 before midnight and paid estimated taxes. Those owed a refund faced no late filing penalty if they missed the deadline, while penalties and interest could apply for errors or late payments. As filing lags behind last year, millions still faced the last minute rush with penalties possible for underpayment.
