There shall be space made available for interviews and space assigned for use by the clerk/magistrates for bail hearings. The lockup shall be established only if approved by a majority vote of the city or town where the sheriff of Suffolk county decides to locate it.

Tax day comes a little later this year, which means you've had a few extra days to
get all your paperwork together and send in your tax forms. And if you're like me,
while you're busy double checking your math or addressing the envelope you might
find yourself wondering just how much some big companies -- such as GE -- pay in
federal taxes. Since we were curious, too, we did some research and we've got the
answer for you.

Just a quick word of warning, though -- you might not like the answer.
