I thought jobs were the issue!!
MARQUETTE – A new study commissioned by the Upper Peninsula Petroleum
Association says a proposed Keweenaw Bay Indian Community gas station in
Marquette Township could result in the loss of up to 63 jobs, $1.25
million in annual wages, $10.7 million in annual in-store sales and $1.7
million annually in state taxes in Marquette County. The study,
commissioned in September and conducted by a Western Michigan University
professor and Ohio-based firm Keip Government Solutions, alleges a
total of $39 million would be lost in taxes and wages were the KBIC
allowed to operate a station it is proposing to locate on land in
Marquette Township.
