We have the highest tax rate in the nation at 11.5%. Illinois, wall high, is 9.5%. Mars merged with Wrigley several years ago, and Wrigley is headquartered in Illinois, Chicago. From that standpoint, the move makes sense. The candy making operations are still remaining in Hackettstown, New Jersey.
True its a little lower, but 11.5% to 9.5% is like putting a bandaid on a bullet wound.
