Today the state revenue department made an extremely rare announcement. Apparently all players from the NCSU 1983 basketball team will be granted amnesty from any tax debts they currently hold. The memo stated: “The team’s triumphs on April 4, 1983, were far more valuable to our citizens than anything the government would have done with the uncollected funds. Therefore, for the greater good, the department forgives any tax debts and liens owed by the players. Too, the department feels this move might give some incentive for local teams to end the Final Four drought for area teams.” Sidney Lowe and CJ Leslie could not be reached for comment.
