Polly applied for an interesting job at a golf course. She was thrilled when the golf course called her, asking her to interview. Then she found out the job was 30 miles away in Ashdown Arkansas.
It wasn't the drive that bothered her the most. After all, this was back country roads with some beautiful scenery. The job itself was on a lake in a resort setting. What bothered her (other than the price of gasoline--which was a huge factor) was the fact that working in Ashdown meant she would have to pay Arkansas state taxes. If the job were in Texarkana Arkansas, there would be a tax boundary exception, as Texarkana Arkansas residents do not pay Arkansas state taxes. For those who work or live in the other surrounding towns, the same does not hold true.
Today she has an interview at a company two miles from home. She isn't as excited about the position, not that I blame her. The golf course job sounded like fun.
