Why not tax everything as a percentage of what their presence costs the City?????

I find it a bit odd that the tax is allowed to be, what I would call 'super progressive', with the per person rate increasing as the total size of the company increases. "Uniform" tax per employee head seems fairer to me. (but I will vote for this tax). The Special Tax allowed school districts must be "uniform" over property or persons.
It would be lovely for the MVWSD to be first in state - to pass a per person uniform tax (person as resident or person as employee) to support the operations of the schools. Figured at a small "uniform" fraction of this City Tax rate, it could replace the $6M or so that the city still diverts from the schools using the Shoreline District property tax diversion. Fair tax revenues directly to schools - is fair. SUNSET ON SHORELINE!
