I have to admit I’m a little confused by today’s Winston-Salem Journal lead editorial criticizing economic incentives, considering the fact that the Journal cheerleads for every incentives package local leaders put together to lure companies. No doubt the Journal would back any package for a company that would occupy the soon to be abandoned Dell plant.
The Journal concludes that “(u)ntil Congress steps in and sets national policy against incentives, they won’t go away, and if they remain in use elsewhere, North Carolina will be handcuffed without them.”
Meanwhile, Forsyth County commissioners offer up $150k for Pepsi.
