As Don Carrington and I witnessed the unbelieable passage of the Dell incentives without amendment as ordered by Governor Easley’s staff the best quote of the day came from Sen. Nash on the floor of the senate.

‘This bill is not well-thought out, it isn’t rationale, but I’m supporting it anyway.” Sen. Shaw

And that summarizes the jist of what occurred yesterday, despite good questions and valid points about the ludicrousness of this bill, it was passed without amendment quickly because Dell is more important than any other computer maker currently in NC.

So the real question is, when are the companies that are here going to start threatening to leave unless they get some incentives?
