Tax Incentives

Last Monday one of the items on the agenda was the city's policy regarding tax incentives to businesses.

I always wondered why these businesses never were required to at least report how much of their payroll stayed in the city.

It would be nice if they were required to maintain a certain "local" payroll to continue their incentives. If that is not feasible then at least toss them a carrot for additional incentives if they did maintain a level of "local" payroll.
