THE CHECK ISN'T EVEN IN THE MAIL
If you live on Guam, a place of which I've grown quite fond since our visit there a few months ago, you should not hold your breath while waiting for your 2005 territorial tax return. Gov Guam's Department of Revenue & Taxation is still trying to pay out the 2003 (!) tax returns. Because of mismanagement, corruption, and constant political infighting the government is perpetually broke.
The island is great. The people are wonderful. But I've never seen any government entity in the US that is so thoroughly dysfunctional. And Guam is technically a part of the US. I'm surprised that the Feds haven't stepped in to totally clean house.
