Although I agree with your editorial I must say that you and the rest of the
media seem to be stuck on one subject, government corruption.
You and the other media companies along with particular sectors of the business community would love for everyone to think that the problem rest solely with the government.
The media constantly portraits the government as being business unfriendly
and wasteful. I am convinced that the image you have created will not change because it is not in the best interest of the economic interest you
represent.
This business unfriendly government continues to renew and give businesses very generous tax incentives. They continue to lease their property to the business community for rent that is way below the going market price. They intentionally do not fund position in the compliance department of the IDC. They continue to offer amnesties on tax payments to the business communities. They intentional under staff the VIBIR and hearing department of the Labor Department. They continue to approve all agreements the business community sends to the legislature.
How much more business friendly can they be and just who is benefitting from the wast?
I am willing to bet if the government gave 100% tax break to the business community that their response will be, this is not fair you should be paying us to do business here. Where is the exposé on individuals in the business community who have been taking advantage of the government?
IDC benefits 10/15/25 years why are you not reporting this? You cannot be corrupt by yourself.
Where is your reporting of the harassment Manos has been receiving from the
Historic Commission? Here is a local man not depending on the government
for a job and they are doing everything in their power to put him out of
business. What is the difference between Manos and The Greenhouse. Is the
Greenhouse not deck with a covering also?
