Citicide in Muskegon Heights


Heights city council gives rare 'no' to business breaks: "When asked by Councilwoman Bonnie McGlothin, Dorato told the council that only one of his employees is a Heights resident.
City residents pay a 1 percent income tax. Nonresidents pay 0.5 percent. "
If there was ever any hope for the Heights, it ended when they passed the city income tax. I wonder if the Councilwoman would have voted for the tax break if the employees were residents. Otherwise, why ask the question?
