In response, McCarthy defended the sales tax agreement as the best possible deal.
    Anyone who thinks otherwise is “foolish,” he said, adding that only an “overly simplistic analysis” could show that the city should get more revenue.
    The city doesn’t deserve to get more because most of the growth in sales tax revenue is in the suburbs, he said.



McCarthy and the dems on the city council should resign as this is proof positive of their failure, since NOTHING they have done has helped the city

The City DEMS are a laughingstock. A bunch of private sector failures led by the clueless Mayor. When you have
anti-business policies don't be surprised when you have no businesses. But don't fret another taxpayer gin mill in
Center City will turn it around- lol. Fire Marion Porterhouse.

He admitted that their schemes have failed. Yes. BUT, how many people live in the city and pay sales taxes? How many live in each town and pay sales taxes? How many people are there to buy merchandise and vehicles and how much does GE send to the State in sales tax versus the "strip malls" and the "big box shops?"

To just count where the sales taxes was collected is SIMPLISTIC. People who live in the city pay more than each town in sales taxes BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE OF THEM TO PAY!

If you live in the city and spend a buck at Mhwk Commons then THAT IS NOT CITY GENERATED?  WTF?

McCheese proves on a daily basis his unfitness to lead. There is no retail left in the City. City residents have to
shop in the suburbs. Where is the Robinson Square project Death Ray? lol. As usual McCheese puts DEM party
bosses before the taxpayer. Remember he was the only one to vote no on the budget in 2009 because he wanted
to increase property taxes MORE than anyone else. The quicker the State Control Board takes over the better.

   .   …


As …. are built and occupied -- and new businesses open -- and new commercial buildings are built ---  the property tax base will expand and sales tax revenues will increase  leading to LOWER PROERTY TAXES ....
