It needs requirements or criteria, attending an Ohio institution and a percentage of total semester hours from that institution.

What would be poor legislation is something that simply gave graduates that stay in the state a write off. It should be for opportunities or position that are difficult to fill.

A professional incentive package, working with large employers.

That’s linking career services of universities with human resources of major employers, if they recruit from our universities and the student meet the criteria then a possible write off.

It would not have to be only graduates from Ohio Universities, it could be any professional that move to the state for a given period of employment.

It should be specific, with percentage write down that are variables based on criteria, the university, the type of degree and the type of employment.

It all leads back to the need for data, who you are and what you do.

This is really about incentives and also disincentives, do all nursing students know they could be employed at the Cleveland Clinic and buy a new town home in the city and pay no property taxes for 15-years? If this legislation was in place could a graduate from Cleveland state school of nursing also get a Ohio income tax refund.

That something to advertise isn’t it?

Should the Universities be advertising it, under nursing careers nationally?

Makes me think that this should have been part of empowerment zones, how to infuse wealth into blighted areas. Its a big carrot, graduate and this is what you get, if you stay.

What if you simultaneously set up incentive based reductions in taxes with more efficient cost effect government? Would we be paying less and earning more, eventually.
