    Gods know we certainly don't want to bring in higher-paying
    employers in this time of record unemployment figures and lower
    salaries.

      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.
