2. One plant at a time

Only 800 more to go to match Obama’s job creation record.

3. Dear Other Companies

Carrier was special; don't expect that the vaults of the Treasury are going to be similarly opened to you. Really. And don't go on about "What about Carrier's deal?" We'll be very hurt if you do. So please don't do that.

Tell me again about the makers and the takers, O Randian masters of the universe.

5. Company eliminates 1300 jobs, gets rewarded with a tax break.

Welcome to Trumpland.

6. Taxes used to save jobs

When will they figure out they have been duped?

7. Only $700k? Indiana got off cheap...Takes much more then that in NY...

"...{Sen Kruger} is referring to $5.5 million that went to Remington Arms in the last five years. The incentives to Remington in New York are among $19.9 million given by nine states to makers of assault weapons in the last decade and were revealed in a list compiled by the Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting.

The $5.5 million that went to Remington and its parent company, Freedom Group, led to the consolidation of manufacturing plants in Massachusetts and Connecticut to Ilion, N.Y., where Remington has manufactured firearms for nearly 200 years.

“They were down to close to 600 jobs and now they’ve more than doubled that,” says Sen. Jim Seward, Ilion's representative in the legislature. “These are good manufacturing jobs and obviously we want them to stay.”"
