True son: The BIG companies went to the government and got exceptions or credits to offset the tax hikes. So they are not paying the full load of taxes.
I remember Cat threating to leave if they did not get the state to back off of them.

Once accepted into the program, which typically lasts 10 years, a company applies on an annual basis for a tax credit certificate, similar to a voucher, which it can claim when it files its taxes."
