Can we expect your corporate welfare attack on this today? Shouldn't Buffalo ask Delaware North to pay their "fair share"? Maybe even a bit extra since they can afford it?

It's an F-ed up system that allows corps to play communities off each other at the expense of the taxpayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an impact and there can be a return on the investment. I agree that communities get shaken down in order to attract and preserve businesses into their communities, but as long as we have state and local rights, there will be competition for businesses.

The only reason subsidies exist is places like Buffalo have tax rates so out of whack with reality and refuse to do anything about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
