Words to the Wise

From a news report about Nissan's move to the Nashville area:

Ghosn cited lower real estate and business taxes as major reasons for the move.

Thanks to Memphis and Shelby County political mismanagement, cronyism and corruption, we are likely looking at continued property tax increases for a few more years, additional fees on new homes and a renewed push for a payroll tax. Don't be surprised if more taxes are introduced.

And we wonder why its so hard to get new businesses here.
