JOBS THERMOMETER

Published 4/30/13 

In my opinion a jobs thermometer in the City Building window is nice but:  A city operates on revenue. In light of that rather obvious fact I offer that a tax revenue barometer display is more reflective of the "state of the city".

i.e. 1st quarter total income tax revenue for similar past quarters was: 2011 - $1,025,90; 2012 - $962,563 and 2013 - $955,528.
