    New Ohio ad campaign aimed at attracting businesses touts state’s low taxes, sparks online debate

It involves digital ads and social media, but a major component is billboards, with different messaging tailored toward the markets they’re in. For example, for Times Square in New York City: “Your buildings are taller, our taxes are smaller”; for Seattle: “Live where you can actually afford to save for a rainy day” and for Boston, near Fenway Park: “0% state corporate income tax? That’s the ticket.” In Austin, it’s “Everything is bigger in Texas, except your house.” And so on.
