Bill Ratliff
“Every one of the best tax systems raises sufficient revenue without imposing at least one of the three major state taxes -- sales taxes, personal income tax and corporate income taxes.”
Curtis Dubay

Bob Knight

Larry Snow
“The major problem weighing here this morning is Dell, ... They missed revenue projections by a lot, and their earnings were also at the low end of the target, so that is reminding market participants that there may be a consumer slowdown taking place.”
Paul Mendelsohn
“Last year (Kane County) thought they may be late with the distribution of revenues. So we were very afraid that we'd have to go through the first part of June without any revenues.”
