I wonder how much these commissioners earn under the table? (Utopia for them, maybe.)
I am not saying that it is right or fair. The exemptions up to 99.99% are quite excessive. It is hard to tell with the missing cost analysis. Other states don't have the problem to the same extend. The combination of low taxes and big exemptions does the trick. Or put another way: if you depend on no exemptions to offset the lower taxes, what do the rural areas do that don't have a mega corp in their backyard?
