I worked with a lot of college students at UT and BGSU in my last job and became very close with many of them. When they graduated, there were NO job fairs in Ohio. Ironically, a BUNCH of them ended up in NC. There were job fairs there. We educate people in Ohio still.... but they take that degree to better business environments. I know of 5 who all went to Raleigh 2 years ago. They all went to the same job fair, they all got jobs and they all moved to NC.

People who aren't trying to run a business in Ohio have no idea how bad it is. It is as if they are trying to prevent business from coming here. The taxes are outrageous, based on a plan that the last business standing will pay the entire state budget. No new businesses come here, and existing businesses are moved or sold out of state.

They could live off of the gold for a while.

You think Ohio's bad. I ran a business here in Michigan and our headquarters were in N Canton Ohio. The Ohio facility was an identical business, same product line, number of employees, sales, etc. Our penalty in Michigan was almost $150,000 over Ohio because of the higher unemployment rates, higher workers comp rates, and a single business tax based on what equipment was in the facility and it's value per the state, not on actual value. That's why Michigan business is moving out also. The only ones staying, or coming, are the ones that have all of these taxes, plus property taxes, waived and incentives added just like Reggie's. Sorry, I digress.
Have you seen the tax breaks imigrants get??
You are mad because Reggie took advantage of Tax Breaks offered to him??

Nope, not mad at all. I hope his company, including BAJA, succeeds. That 42' boat that holds the World Record for Vee's is an incredible accomplishment. My only (repeat only) gripe with Reggie is the ego-laden/BS/mis-information (ie; CatKiller) that he uses to promote his boats. But, it does give me something to try and improve my sarcastic and (hopefully) tastefully entertaining talents.
