Another great report, click here.

Commercial tax bases as a percentage of total tax base dropped from 30% in 1984 to 15% in 2009. That is a 50% drop in less then 25 years. I heard Joe O'Brien on the radio today say that the tax rate is 4th or 5th on a company's decision as to where they will locate? I wonder what these numbers looking like in the surrounding communities that have a single tax rate. My bet is that it has not only been stable but most likely increased the past 25 years.

Can someone please tell me what is going in just over the line in Auburn in the old NorthEast Display Building.
