We're FedEx Ground, We Don't Pay Taxes, Governor - June 02, 2006

So another governor - this time Haley Barbour in Mississippi - attended another groundbreaking at another FedEx Ground facility.  Seeing life slowly get back to normal in Gulfport and the Gulf Region is tremendously good news.  We can appreciate Gov. Barbour's appearance in that context. 

But what excuse did Gov. Ehrlich or Gov. Perdue have? 

We'd really like to see some effort by these governors to press FedEx Ground to account for the lost tax revenue and workplace insurance funds that the "independent contractor" scam costs these states.
