That doesn't mean I agree with these sorts of tax deals.

I know what you're saying, but if my employer is getting tax exemptions to stay on site, I really don't care just as long as I can keep my job........

FWIW, I went thru a plant closing in Detroit and the ultimate sale of the corporation to a Canadian automotive group. Fortunately I had the time and service to be eligible for retirement benefits a year later. There were many others in the plant who weren't so lucky.........

That of course has nothing to do with the circumstances surrounding Pfizer but at least I can relate to those folks who lost their jobs while the city of Ann Arbor and its elites continue on as if nothing happened.......After all, Pfizer is an evil corporation.

Of course -- perfectly understandable. But businesses that locate in a town only because of tax breaks are a dicey proposition. Not dissimilar to solar panel manufacturers who go into business only because of government subsidies.
