I’m a little southwest, in Newton.
The county run by corrupt black democrats that love the fact that Newton is becoming the “industrial landfill” when they want to build something, somewhere, with the promise of jobs, jobs, jobs
These folks got on their knees to Kemp and Rivian promising 7500+ jobs, for a failing industry and a failing company. **Illinois just gave them $900mil to expand there. These clowns can’t fathom that it takes fewer people to build an EV. Silverado plant has 800 employees…..an effin’ joke
Toss in the fact that Atlanta is pricing folks out, more “build to rent” developments coming, more warehouses because they think the shipping industry is going to shut down in California, shortages in policing, gonna be good times down here
I can only hope that Jones is like me, ascends to Governor and starts cleaning process.
#1 on hisToDo List….lower the film tax credit to $299million. The same number that Newsome offered. However he were to a true rock star, eliminate completely and send all the liberal migrants that came with it, back to where they came from.
Agree completely. These state policies aiming to attract industry inevitable cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per job “created.” I doubt that Rivian will ever produce a single vehicle in Morgan County. Before I retired, I used to help the UGA Institute of Government prepare “fiscal notes” for the Georgia legislature, which required an estimate of the state-budget implications (if any) for proposed legislation. Most of what we did was analyze proposed tax giveaways like those for the film industry.
I know many people want to get rid of the state income tax in order to compete with Florida and Tennessee for businesses and workers. But nobody has said how even half of the lost revenue would be replaced.
