Robert Reich And School Vouchers: Liberal Emperors, Too, Can Parade Naked.

[Tom Lehman]

Leo and can I call you Bob---This week Albert Gore and Joe Lieberman are
criss-crossing southern Ohio in separate school buses talking about their
educational programs.  The only problem here in Ohio is that we have a gizzillion
dollars in abated corporate property taxes.  Hell, we could probably buy and sell
Harvard, endowment and all, a few times if the corporations in Ohio were paying
their property taxes.  Plus I don't really have a handle on the dollars that have
been property tax abated to other business forms and individuals. Have you read
about the Toledo Diamler Chrysler Jeep deal?

I read in Business Week a dozen years ago that Al Gore when he was in congress and
the senate really led the charge for corporate/business property tax abatement in
his home state of Tennessee.  Is that true?

I don't know what the corporate property tax abatement situation is up there in
cosmopolitan New York City and in this case probably New York state considering
Mrs. Clinton is running for Senator and all---maybe you could fill me in a little
bit.

Leo, on another matter.  Mike Preskop your western New York regional director
showed me some of the art that was created by New York City students dealing with
sweatshops and child labor. The works by the students that Mike showed me were
both beautiful and gripping.  The Steelworkers here in Ohio would love to display
it.
