Reply #25: I agree. Cities and counties are strapped, so they're messing with taxes.

My brother runs a factory in Hillsdale, and he's fighting them over their moving up when the taxes were due and then not doing much to let people know. In addition to his over $25K in taxes, they charged an eight-hundred dollar late fee because his office assistant got it to them one day late. He's hired forty people there who wouldn't have had jobs otherwise, many of whom have even bought houses, but they're telling him that he just has to suck up and deal. He's seriously considering moving the business to a better place, all because they're refusing to dicker over a tax bill.

I don't get it. I really don't.
