Tax Writing Contest**
2009 Writing Competition Results
The FBA Section on Taxation is pleased to announce the winners of the 2009 Writing Competition. This year there were three papers of very high quality, and the judges added an Honorable Mention category.
Honorable Mention is awarded to William Joseph Mills, a third-year student at the University of Illinois in Champaign. Mr. Mill's paper entitled, "Inspiring Green Car Sales: What Deserves the Credit" provides an insightful look at whether tax credits for green cars have a positive impact on sales. He concludes that other factors, such as gas prices and car quality, have a larger impact than tax credits. Mr. Mills will receive a $350 prize and a commemorative plaque.
