HARTFORD As Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said Thursday he was open to tweaking the tax side of a budget that has alarmed several large Connecticut employers, General Electric told employees it has assembled an exploratory team to look for "another state with a more pro-business environment."

Jeff Immelt = Horace Busby Mowen
He could have vetoed it. Obama always does.
Hey GE, come look at South Carolina.
Join your buddies Bridgestone, Michelin, Kimberly Clarke, MTU America, BMW, Boeing, Bosch, Continental Tire, Fluor, NASCAR Speedpark, Sonoco, Adidas, Fujifilm, Kraft Foods, Nestle, BAE Systems, GlaxoSmithKline, Milliken.
Icing on the cake: we’re a right to work state.
Does Texas (or Missouri, or South Carolina) really want the baggage that comes with GE?
I mean, their HQ is in über-Liberal Fairfield County, and their other divisions (jet engines, or am I thinking of P&W?) are from the decidely pro-union Democrat areas.
Its not like GE could just swap out those CT workers for new ones in whatever state they move to. The work they do is too skilled. So you’d be transplanting not only those workers but also their ideologies.
While literally true for a number of years, Elizabeth Warren was being misleading about GE not paying federal corporate income taxes:

GE lost $32b because of the financial crisis. Its profits in the following years were offset by those losses, thereby generating no federal tax liability. Any company is eligible for this kind of tax write-off.
True, but as big a perverted leftist as the Stainmaker was, I don't think he has the deep seated hatred and resentment towards the country, particularly its white citizens, that the community agitator has. This asshat along with the Wookie have a chip on their shoulders the size of the Grand Canyon.
Sure. Malloy will “tweak” the newly-passed law by making the working stiffs pay more.
GE needs to put its money where it’s mouth is.
Baltimore is full of unemployed youth just looking for a career.
I am sure the City Leaders would love to have them relocate to the recently rioted areas.
Well G.E. your move?
Austin sounds perfect for them...lol
And this is coming from GE whose CEO was ecstatic about the potential “strategic alliance” GE was establishing with the Obama Admin in 2009.
Imagine Connecticut with GE, Aetna, and the other major insurance companies moving the headquarters out of the state! I think the personal income tax in CT was only established in 1992 or so — it is now among the highest taxed states in the country and the budget is an absolute mess. Way to go, Dems! You’ve done it again!
I believe that's Delaware.
Isn't Boeing now assembling their most exciting product,the 787,in South Carolina and not in Washington?
One exception:
Honda would like to have a word with you about their Marysville and East Liberty factories in Ohio. If you’re driving a Honda built in the US, there’s a good chance that it was built in the Buckeye State.
So far, they have managed to stay nonunionized despite Ohio’s lack of RTW. That might be an oddity, but their presence is not in question.
Gone to Texas
Precisely. Problem is, we have a whole corporate sector full of Mowens - and precious few Reardens in sight.
