Jobs Bill Offers Tax Incentive to Businesses
(Afro) — The City Council just passed a bill it believes to be a catalyst for creating more jobs in the District where the jobless rate exceeds 10 percent. But according to its author, At-large Councilman Kwame Brown, the bill, “District Job Growth Incentive Act,” models a component of President Barack Obama’s stimulus package by providing franchise tax incentives for local business owners who commit to easing the local job crunch.
