However, I believe strongly that these lower taxes should go only <br />towards businesses that also support their workers and the community. I strongly <br />support requiring businesses who receive these tax reductions to meet minimum <br />labor standards like paying their workers 115% of minimum wage, giving the <br />majority of employees full time hours and providing on the job training. Finally we <br />should make sure that these businesses give back to the community by hiring <br />local residents and creating career opportunities for the residents. Thanks for <br />your consideration. <br />[Jaiden Pechette <br />
