The dumbest mayor in America finally got one right,,,,,for all the wrong reasons.
You know that all this anti-Walmart nonsense is just a big shakedown. And I would guess that Daley already has a feww hands in these pockets.
Actually, Washington politicians DROVE Boeing out of Seattle.
Seriously, it was just Boeing's corporate offices (about 500 people) that were moved, but it made for an effective "shot across the bow" for the dumbasses that run the state of Washington. Of course, there was also the threat to build the 787 production facility in Texas.
All this worked, Washington backed off of some of its excessive taxation of Boeing, for a few years at least. :-)
Oh, he's not quite "the dumbest". There's way too much competition for that title. ;-)
I guess you have never met him. He is a stone.
On the other hand, I haven't met all the others.
It seems like it's going more and more the way of NYC.
