WisBusiness: Expert says Midwest’s big tax break could transfer to AirTran

"If Orlando-based AirTran Holdings is successful in its hostile takeover bid for Midwest Airlines, the Florida company should be able to hang on to a property tax break worth about $2 million - as long as it continues to meet the required number of flights from Mitchell International Airport.

Midwest had a net income of $5.4 million in 2006, so its profit would have been reduced by more than a third without the tax break."
