Finally, someone has common sense. The governor cancelled the contract but it does not mean that Tata cannot compete for the contract again. Will have to wait and see what happens next.

Tata does not hire Americans and often brings in L-1 visa holders who do not pay taxes. Many other multimillion dollar contracts have been given by various state to this company that blatantly discriminates against US citizens. Someone ought to file a class action lawsuit against them.

Here is a background about the story you posted. Read the full story and see some of uninformed comments about this whole thing, especially by Murphy, a deputy commissioner at the Indiana Department of Workforce Development. This guy should be fired.

Another democrat putting the local union thugs ahead of the taxpayers.

Good for him! Someone that believes in allowing Americans to compete. What a concept.

I know about Tata and really believe that this company may be paying kickbacks. Why else would it be necessary to review the contract award procedures.

EMC announced yesterday another 100 million dollars will be going to research and development in India. This is not the low level tech jobs, but the jobs that determine the future of the tech industry.

Officials will also seek ways to give Indiana companies a better chance to compete for government business by providing more notice of contracts that are available and working with businesses to get them involved.

What a novel idea. And state governments wonder why unemployment is down. Sheesh...

I'm glad to see that someone is standing up to the idea that everything done offshore is better and cheaper than the same things done here.

Buried among all these stories about American dollars and jobs going offshore, has been a few articles about the crappy level of work being performed by the offshore companies, often requiring American companies to repair the damage done for an additional cost of as much as 50 - 75% of the original development budget. I'm waiting for some bean counter, somewhere, to wake up and smell the hemorrhaging revenue and profit margins slipping under the door and putting a halt to it.
