Guilford County Commissioner Mike Winstead votes with Billy Yow against holding a public hearing regarding Honda Aircraft’s $775,000 incentives request:

“An incentive is something you give a company to entice them to come to your area,” Winstead said. “They’re already here. They’re already invested. What we’d be giving them now wouldn’t be an enticement. It would be more like a bonus.”

Yow repeated his concern that the 400-plus jobs that ostensibly would be created wouldn’t go to local residents.
