Washington Post report IRS (tax department peeps) workers are permitted to stay at home, not come to work

- But, it appears this will delay the issuing of tax refunds
WaPo citing union officials

Not a USD positive if this slows the US economy (less cashola for consumer spending, right?)
more to come
