Certainly, for a company, costs are important. Location is important, as is how a government does business. I have a fast-track process whereby paperwork is expedited so businesses can open their doors. Taxes are a piece of the problem. But another critically important issue is a skilled work force.
Taxes are just one part of the story.
The skilled work force will be the competitive edge as we move ahead the next couple of years. It was an important issue that the business community raised and that the legislature dealt with. It is in place. We need to continue to make state government more efficient and effective and look at new ways of doing business and solving problems. I am an executive who went through a recession and rounds of cuts in the adoption of a budget.
