Township To Subsidize Corporation

April 18th, 2007 by Andy in Taxes, The Commons & The Social Contract

This might be one of the more craven and cowardly things I’ve seen a local government do in awhile. Corporate welfare on full display (and somewhat reminiscent of how governments will cut 10 cents off gas taxes to try to offset cartel increases of 30 cents, so we subsidize US and Arab oil billionaires and have crummy roads). Rather than get something to stay in the community and make a big deal of the need for real competition, this Township is now subsidizing Comcast. At least poor little Comcast won’t go to bed hungry tonight.
