[Vision2020] Like Tax-Breaks Ain't Enough . . .

[Tom Hansen]

So . . .

In addition to high-end tax breaks, corporations will further be enticed with $$$$ to move to Idaho . . . all during a tight budget year.

By all means, cut back on the education budget.  These corporate incentives ain't gonna pay for themselves!

Economic developers want employer incentive fund

BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Idaho economic developers say state lawmakers need to create a $5- to $10-million fund that could be used to entice high-paying employers to the state by rewarding them with incentive packages.

The business-recruitment arm of the Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce is talking with the Idaho Department of Commerce and economic developers around the state to push lawmakers in the 2012 legislative session to create such a fund.

Clark Krause of the Boise Valley Economic Partnership tells the Idaho Statesman that the fund would increase the state's attractiveness to potential employers.

Krause says the state doesn't have to go overboard in handing out incentives, but well-rounded incentives could help draw employers.
