Notice something missing from this Uptown paper of record statement of the obvious on the Dell subsidy gone horribly wrong? Aside from the abject, groveling apology I mean.
You might have heard of her. An original sponsor of the Dell bribe and proud defender of the deal. “We all know Dell can go anywhere in the world. We need this company. We need these jobs,” Hagan declared on the floor of the state legislature.
You might recall that Libertarian Party senate candidate and Huntersville resident Chris Cole tried to hold Hagan accountable for the Dell decision, but the media in the state would have none of it, not with Liddy Dole in their crosshairs. This despite clear evidence last fall that Dell might walk away from the factory deal and leave the state to pick up the pieces.
But by all means, lecture me on the “the lessons of Dell” and not mention the role played by the U.S. Senator you endorsed. All I can do is laugh at this point.
