[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe anyone would think a good way to address income equality, rather than working to bring up the bottom, is to get rid of the top. There is no case where if you have 10  people with a million dollar salary, and 10 with a 20,000 salary, getting rid of five of the millionaires to achieve better "income equality" makes things better.[/quote]

We will lose more businesses, jobs, and high earners to VA.[/quote]
The two year study is based on a grant, not from taxes.  [/quote]

Where's the county finding the 2 million it's responsible for?[/quote]

The whole thing costs $5.76 million, and the county is pulling from the reserves for the first $2 million.   The Meyer foundation is paying a million as well.   While the county will seek grant funding elsewhere, there is no guarantee of awards.  So the remaining $2.76 million may be on taxpayers' shoulders.   The county will likely shoulder 83% of the cost of this.[/quote]
