wolfriverjoe 1,329 #6 October 20, 2020 Oh yeah. There were a LOT of people who opposed this. They saw how stupid it was. But Scott Walker & the republican legislature pushed it through. That same republican legislature is stopping the current governor from finding out what is really going on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that is why we need a nationwide law stamping out the practice of city/county/state politicians giving special financial treatment to corporations to influence where they locate. It is effectively using state money to enhance their own political standing, and leaving taxpayers to pick up the bill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
