If the governor and legislature are intelligent and realistic vs. being political they&#39;d be wise to develop a budget that makes it far easier for small and mid-market businesses to thrive. They need to look no farther than the mess in California and the bnusinesses and population that is moving out of the state. Conversely, look at Texas, a super business friendly state that has been minimally impacted by the recession.Pete McDowellhttp://petemcd.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361423437420591465.post-40369362190416967322010-02-03T09:31:29.406-08:002010-02-03T09:31:29.406-08:00We are currently small business owners are looking to run from doing business in Washington. We could hire 3 -4 more people but are really scared about the tax situation and now can not even afford the 1 - 3 people that we have working for us a diffrence times.<br /><br />i have had the state come down on me once and will not ever want to go through that again. It was an ex-contractor that caused the whole problem but we are the ones that got fined and it could have put us out of business even though he was the person that filed a fraudulent report.<br /><br />Not signing my name as like I said I scared of any dealing with the State of Wahington...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
