With Christmas 2012 over, one reality check is that the looming "fiscal cliff" deadline is just a few days away. On December 31, tax cuts dating to the George W. Bush presidential term are scheduled to expire, and President Obama and congressional leaders have not reached a compromise. Of course, that means starting in the New Year, tax bills would increase for many middle- and upper-class taxpayers in the City of Hazelwood. And that means paycheck withholding for many workers would change, leaving them with less take-home pay in the new year.
