2004-2005 (WHCB) AECC "Employee Benefits", "Payroll Taxes" Skyrocket Under Rep. Matthew Hill

Way back in 2004, Rep. Matthew Hill frequently cited his experience as the "Appalachain Radio Group operations manager" at WHCB and WPWT et al (and that experience of being a small business coffee shop owner for about six months) within the context of his being able to go down to Nashville as a state representative and help reign in state spending --- I found the following excerpts pretty useful for comparison as the 2005 AECC Form 990 is not due back to the IRS until May 15, 2006:
