These tax incentives are largely based on the fact that new jobs are created locally...but in reality the "new jobs" are typically filled by employees being "transferred" to the area. Although this does help our economy locally with new home sales, etc., the message is deceiving. These jobs are not "vacant". In other words, local people will be hired to do the administrative things, but the "suits" will be brought in from other locations. The $50K plus positions. Please, prove me wrong.
Just How Many Are Local...
