Letter: Taxes will drive many out of state

The Columbian

Published: October 31, 2011, 12:00am

The Oct. 19 story about “Office Ally moving HQ out of Vancouver” to Texas because our taxes are too high reminds me of another recent story in The Columbian. An organization called Keep Clark County Moving was recently formed to promote C-Tran’s proposed tax increase. Keep Clark County Moving may be correct in that higher taxes will keep Clark County moving, but I wonder if they realize where they will be moving to.
