Elizabeth Warren must have been asleep.

Otherwise General Electric, her arch enemy, would never have dared come into Warren's backyard, let alone announce that it was planning to transfer its headquarters to Boston.

What a windfall for Boston. What an embarrassment for Warren.

A disaster for both. GE is Obama’s favorite company and doesn’t need to pay taxes.

[Vaquero]

GE owns NBC? Screw’em

[Ted Grant]

It’s more of a colossal screw up by Connecticut rather than a success of Massachusetts

[Flick Lives]

How bad must Connecticut’s taxes be that escaping to Massachusetts is an improvement?

[9YearLurker]

Pretty bad. CT’s current Dem guv has with the legislature been jacking them up for six years now.

I think NBC is owned by Comcast. GE got 18 billion greenbacks in 2013.

[bert]

no, GE sold NBC to Comcast

Comcast is a genuine American enemy

The GOPe insisted on running turncoat Scott Brown against Elizabeth Warren on the claim that he was an “electable” candidate.

Brown turned out just like all those other “electable” candidates the GOPe keeps foisting on true conservatives.

Their is way more to this story than I even realized until yesterday. I am in the Peoples Socialist Republik as we speak, and a local paper had a Yuge story on GE's Liability in cleaning up the Housatonic River post their dumping PCB's in it for something like 50 years. The numbers thrown around are close to or will be over the Billion mark when said and done.

I don't know if GE moving to MA is related via having more say in the process etc etc. The article was in the Springfield Republican, you can link it if you want, I think they are on the do not repost FR list....

I’m just glad they kept their communist employees in a blue state, rather than moving to a red state to vote their same errors again - Left Loons never learn from their failures.
