You’re probably correct.

But I also forgot the local income tax which is another 2%.
The liberals are claiming that this proves that taxes don’t count in choosing where to live.

And as the old Hunkie’s in Cleveland used to say “Dot’s boolsheet”

His local income tax of 2% gets split, I think between Cleveland and Independence where the training facility is. Besides that, does he live in a community that has its own income tax with only a partial offset?

So greater Cleveland gets 2% of his salary and there's an 8% OH sales tax in Cuyahoga County, with part of that percentage going to the county and part to the state. Add to that people who eat in restaurants when going to games, it's 8% sales tax in addition to the other positive impacts on the city. Add to that, it's next door to Dan Gilbert's casino.

I'd think LeBron coming back is a game changer for Cleveland.
