Announcer: Opponents of the earnings tax just can’t get it straight. On one hand they say it doesn’t account for much in the city budget, that it’s not a big deal if it went away. On the other hand, they say it is so big of a deal that businesses are leaving town because of it.

The truth, of course, is just the opposite. Businesses support the earnings tax. And it is a big deal for the people who live here because it pays for vital city services like police and fire protection.
