TaxesApologies offered for mix-up(January 12, 2001) Department of Revenue Commissioner Matt Smith told the House Taxes Committee Jan. 11
that his department takes full responsibility for the mistakes that were made in mailing out thousands
of rebate checks to ineligible recipients last summer.
Smith said that more than 33,000 Minnesotans who were not eligible for the 2000 sales tax rebate
received checks totaling more than $2.9 million. Of that amount more than $1 million has yet to be
recollected.
Rep. Ron Abrams (R-Minnetonka), the committee chair, was critical of Smith's decision to try
and recollect the money without first consulting with lawmakers in determining the best way to
deal with the situation.
