The fruits of the economic stimulous package will start to bear very soon.  Electronic rebate checks begin to hit on Monday -- and the live check roll out starts soon after that.  So...what do 'you' plan to do with your rebate?  Spend it, splurge, or stuff it under the mattress?  Let me know!

I'm spending some, saving some and putting some on a bill. Tom, do you have any plans for the rebate? Or are you one of many who exceeded the income threshold. (Ridiculous!!)

If I can help the economy with just $600 dollars, just think how much I could help the economy if I were able to KEEP ALL OF MY MONEY and have NONE of it taken from my paycheck!

Might as well save it, Why? well if Mccain is elected we'll get another one by spring of next year, if not we'll need it for food since farmers are growing alternative fuels now, I'll need to buy a small farm just to eat & drive my car, Besides If the Demo's win they'll just take it back with liberal spending tax hikes... Isn't it grand to be the "Middle Class" "Say isn't that Big($)TAX($) monkey on your back a little heavy there Mr/Mrs. Taxpayer"? Listen folks aint nothing free even a stimulus package guess who's gonna pay for down the road...Doh!

I am going to send half of mine to Saudi Arabia and the other half to Venezuela. I guess those countries are very poor and are needing the cash.

Credibility, experience and a bit of an edge; that pretty much sums up Tom Haynes (tom.haynes@myfoxatlanta.

Before coming to FOX 5, Tom worked in Miami at the top-rated FOX affiliate, WSVN-7. From the anchor desk to live reporting, Tom sharpened his journalistic expertise while covering stories such as the U.S. led invasion in Iraq, the sniper shootings that terrorized Washington D.C. and the unprecedented hurricane seasons that battered Florida and the Gulf Coast year after year. Tom began his career in 1994 as a production assistant for CNN’s Larry King Live in Washington, D.C. He then moved to the network’s headquarters here in Atlanta where he worked as a producer, reporter and ultimately an anchor. Tom now returns to Atlanta with even more experience, more passion and a desire to bring something different to local television. Tom is excited be front and center in FOX 5’s innovative and interactive newscast. Tom wants to engage viewers and hopes you will interact with him in any medium, be it over the air or online.
