From a D.C. neighborhood list-serv my wife is on:

I love this city but …
… its ineptitude really frustrates me sometimes.
Our bank just informed us that our tax refund check from the DC government bounced. That’s right, bounced.

Presumably this is a result of the feds’ crackdown of the DC Office of Tax Revenue, where two mid-level employees stole as much as $31.7 million by issuing fraudulent checks.
