By rejecting this bill, Assembly Republicans gave in to the special interests who see no problem with higher property taxes on homeowners in favor of big tax breaks for big corporations. How great was the pressure from these big corporations? Some of the Republicans who voted no on the bill today had originally signed on as supporters. They flip flopped. To me, there is no reason to make homeowners and small businesses pay more just because they can't afford the same expensive corporate lawyers of a big retail chain like Menards or Walgreens.
