Look at the economic development fund. Every state has one and every one gives taxpayer money to private business.

Yep, it's cronyism on steroids.

I can’t remember what its called in Texas but if I recall its acronym was “TEC”. Lots of money and tax breaks in return for promises of jobs to be created followed by lots of broken promises.

Its the same with the MEDC here in Michigan.
