Arizona Business Leaders Optimistic About This Year

An article this week in Forbes Magazine looked at why business leaders in Phoenix and the state are excited about this year, and quotes several of them about why Phoenix and Arizona are good for business.

To find out if that optimism is shared, we turn to Jim Rounds, an economist with Scottsdale-based Elliot D. Pollack and Company.

One of the factors that plays into a state’s business climate is taxes. And the Tax Foundation recently released its annual state-by-state comparison of taxes and tax climates.

For more on that, we go to Scott Drenkard, manager of state projects for the Tax Foundation.
