This isn’t news. It is a recurring source of agitation. A wealthy corporation too incompetent to manage its bottom line wants a little sugar from the taxpayers. Its representatives are wined and dined as they whine about a but-for. Elected leaders know they’re being taken for a ride, but for some reason they value money more than justice. They even value lies about money more than justice. If some big company wants to come to town, they will beg a discount on taxes,and take credit for exponential increases to the local economy as they claim no footprint on local infrastructure or service provision. If they make themselves look important enough, they can get a code name from government so The Wee Peeps can be kept out of the loop about which industry they’re subsidizing until negotiations are finalized. And yet the economy sags.
