That's right, the story reads: "According to city estimates, about $76, 000 will come from city residents and $546, 000 from businesses." More than one half of a million dollars will be sucked out of businesses to feed Willoughby Hills, according to the article.
It's sad that Bob Weger continues to be dismissive toward other's ideas. According to Councilwoman Nancy Fellows, "This issue has affected council like none before." She also said "It's compromised friendships." Trust us...some friendships were hurt, but other relationships prospered...especially some business relationships.
To LakeCountyOH,
ReplyDeleteOh, you are the king of the innuendo, aren't you. Why not explain your comment "Trust us...some friendships were hurt, but other relationships prospered...especially some business relationships." Sounds like a building block for a campaign, but face it, there's really no substance to it. I guess it just feels good for you to plant seeds of doubt.
One thing you failed to mention: The vast majority of the $546,000 is already being paid in taxes by workers in WH, but because of the way the tax reciprication credit works, it ends up going to to other communities. If the tax issue passes in November, the monies paid by the workers in Willoughby Hills will actually go to the City of Willoughby Hills. Too bad for Eastlake, Euclid, Mentor, etc., but fair and equitable for WH and its workers.
This is just one little fact that you forgot to mention, so I thought I'd help report the truth to your readers.
Thanks!
