If I could pick up my businesses and move them out of Ohio, I would, but unfortunately I have real estate involved. No one is discussing the devasting effect of the CAT Tax any longer, but believe me, all of my business associates are impacted, and discuss it constantly. (Our business is "High Dollar, Low Margin"). I would love to donate to all of your causes, because they are extremely important, but quite simply, my wife and I just do not have the extra money....And the CAT rate goes up again soon!!
