Will the existing payroll tax go up when current employees receive stock offerings, or will the tax rate be completely static at 350k/year?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03873957741011073729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-39525175027241718102011-03-20T09:54:02.148-07:002011-03-20T09:54:02.148-07:00Thanks for the writeup, Mike.

There will still be taxes coming into the city, just not from the payroll tax. However, the many people who testified against this deal have good points about why it's such a bad deal for the city and its residents, and share your good riddance to Twitter attitude. I think this really is about the stock options at heart, so I'm wondering why they don't just change that part of the payroll tax law.<br /><br />In any case, the whole thing has turned into a "let's give away more subsidies to Randy Shaw and the Shorenstein family."Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-8140215345381868922011-03-19T18:19:22.688-07:002011-03-19T18:19:22.688-07:00Ah, yes, Randy Shaw.

The city desperately needs tax revenue and they are going to give an exemption to Twitter? If they are going to exempt Twitter, why worry if it stays in the city or not? It won't do us (the working poor) any good.Nancy Ewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12116290968007398337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-68738867230468007882011-03-19T13:51:42.267-07:002011-03-19T13:51:42.267-07:00This is great.
