Unemployment

At the moment, I don’t believe we’re going to slip into a recession.  Our economy is growing. It doesn’t feel like it if you’re one of the millions of workers that is “underemployed”.  I hate that word.

This week I’m going to drop the personal off of personal finance to write a little bit about something that has become a hot topic locally.

Recently the Fort Collins City Council approved a financing package for the redevelopment of the Foothills Mall that included Tax Increment Financing, or TIF for short.  This package in particular has brought about a lot of local commentary even though the City has used TIF and other tax offsets in the past.
