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

developers want employer incentive fund</h3>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Clark Krause of the Boise Valley Economic Partnership tells
the Idaho Statesman that the fund would increase the state's
attractiveness to potential employers.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Krause says the state doesn't have to go overboard in
handing out incentives, but well-rounded incentives could help
draw employers.</div>
