I was so thrilled and excited to learn from the Herald that one of our own-a Plainview-Old Bethpage JFK High School 1989 graduate, Daniel Werfel-has been appointed as (Acting) Director of the IRS. Not having to pay federal income taxes next April 15 will mean so much to all Plainview and Old Bethpage residents, especially those of us on fixed incomes ! All 25,000 of us will forever be grateful to Mr. Werfel. We understand that our “Dan” will not have the authority to exempt us—his former friends and neighbors-from New York STATE taxes, and that our “Danny” will be unable to enable us to not pay school, county, town, and sales taxes. However, if our beloved “Danny Boy” does a good enough job so that President Obama removes the word “Acting” from his title.
