Martha and Ann- Upon further discussion we'd like the lauguage to read like the attached.
Futher discussion showed that $8000 job are very infrequent and still having to pay the $400 tax would do nothing
to attact business to Ashland.
If this is not o.k. we'd prefer to have it removed entirely so we don't testify against it.
Please feel free to call me if needed.
thanks, Drew
