Income Tax would mostly be state not city, Property rates are set by the state, sales tax is state and goes to the state, auto tax is also set by state. The only thing the Mayor has any involvement in is the small percentage of the income/occupantional tax and that is set by the state.<br /><br />In addition all the city ever does is waive taxes for corporations, (see GE water heater investment)so that business will move in.<br /><br />You ran for mayor, as mayor what would you have done to reduce any of the numbers in the 5 categories listed in the story?Metro Hackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967989005244565757noreply@blogger.com
