tax assessment would raise money but it would cost money. by costing money some businesses may leave. for example, amgen just put a new plant in RI instead of california.

Businesses are also going to leave when they have to pay workers several times what they would in other regions because of our insane housing prices.

I don't understand how you're supposed to get a financially healthy state when it's starved of funds compared to states like MA that have reasonable and equitable property tax laws.
