State’s Economy and Wilson

Gee thanks, Gov. Wilson.
Who cares if the sales tax is lowered a little? That should save the average family $8 per month. Wilson has obviously never been in business for himself.
Let’s take your neighborhood auto repair shop, for example; the owner has to pay a $300 annual establishment inspection fee, a waste-oil permit fee, quarterly waste-water disposal fee, anti-freeze disposal fee, air-conditioning Freon disposal fee, fire department inspection fee, business licenses, etc. I imagine it’s even worse for a restaurant.
Instead of a slightly lower sales tax, why not get rid of some of these fees and let businesses earn a profit, expand and hire more people.
