Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
Rank: 4645

A "Must Read"
(Bloomington, Illinois) June 21, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars

This is a quick read primer on what's wrong with the way state and local governments and corporations are selling our communities short.

With colorful examples you won't forget, and clear, understandable explanations of tax and public finance policy that put law professors to shame, LeRoy shows the underbelly of the tax giveaway schemes taking place throughout the country.

The Great American Jobs Scam is a must read for candidates, elected officials and others (especially voters) who care about the erosion of quality public services in communities across the country.

Hopefully some journalists will give it a read and start placing the stories of tax deals for jobs on the crime pages instead of the business hype section.
