I can’t find them anywhere online, but I’ve been seeing them out of state in the southern US and someone has _[an account of seeing them running in Vegas.](http://boards.buffalobills.com/showthread.php?461337-The-New-Buffalo&p=6864204#post6864204)_
It has Warren Buffet, Jim Kelly, the Geico gecko (and probably some other names that I’m missing because I’ve seen it twice just not all the way though) talking about opportunity for businesses in Buffalo.
It turned my head… and made me shake it as well, lol. I hope some big company CEO sees it while drunk and coked out of his mind at the Bellagio and thinks it’s an idea worth investigating… so we can have our next Bass Pro…
Cynical commentary aside, it’s something cool to see when you’re out of state. Hopefully we’ll see some ROI with this undoubtedly tax payer funded TV spot.

New YorkYork ranks second last in national survey of worst states to do business in. Glad they came up with something to draw attention away.

> Buffalo is the county seat of Erie County, and the second most populous city in the U.S. state of New York, after New York City. Originating around 1789 as a small trading community inhabited by the Neutral Nation near the mouth of Buffalo Creek, the city, then a town, grew quickly after the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, with the city at its western terminus. Its position at the eastern end of Lake Erie strengthened the economy, based on grain milling and steel production along the southern ...

Ehhh they’ve spent tax dollars in worse ways. Who knows maybe Buffet and gang footed the bill. Regardless, any press can’t hurt. I saw one of these for Topeka Kansas a few months back… FUCKING TOPEKA. It at last got my mind thinking wtf is the deal with Topeka?

Hopefully they actually commit to making it easier for growing businesses to build/move here.
Local economic development organizations keep giving tax breaks to big box stores/national chains which doesn’t do much to help the economy. They also have been giving tax breaks to places that would be building regardless.

I do too. I have recently started a small side business that I am currently 1099, but I am hoping to get it established soon. I filed my DBA, got my insurance and I am ready to start getting jobs.

Doesn’t the state have the lowest income taxes ever right now? We never notice it because counties raise their rates anytime the state drops theirs but I thought I read NY was lower than ever.
