Default Re: Sales Tax Rates - NOT insignificant

Secondly, just speaking from personal experience, although yes taxes are a consideration when a business is looking to locate somewhere honestly it is probably way down the list at around item #10 or 11. The top factors are always going to be things like 'are there enough skilled workers in the area...' and 'where is my customer located....'
Speaking from personal experience as well.... corporations are also interested in whether or not their employees will want to move or be transferred to a city.

Quality of life, good schools, low housing costs and many entertainment options all tie in with these decisions.

Improving the Ford Center, improving our chances of becoming a Big League city will all contribute to more options, encouraging new businesses to move here.

Vote YES on March 4th!
