Industry leaders asked fiscal court at a special meeting Tuesday why they were singled out when the county raised its net profits tax cap last year. The tax went into effect Jan. 1 of this year.

Leathers also told the court the tax would be a disincentive to industries who may be considering coming here, and he asked the court to reconsider it.
