Gov. Perdue and NC's Jobs-Making Machine....

NC has a state sponsored jobs-making machine?

Governor Bev Perdue has come to Charlotte many times since the economy soured to make jobs announcements, presenting new companies to the community like gifts.

But those companies also get gifts to come here, and now the Republican-controlled Senate wants to take away Perdue's incentive money in order to fill a $3.7 billion budget hole.

...

Perdue's camp says doing so will kill the state's job-making machine, sending companies to other areas.

Of course! It helps hide the deleterious impacts of high taxes and abusive behaviour toward corporations such as theft from Alcoa.

Beating current corporations about the head with one hand while drawing in new corporations with sweeteners the other only serves to drive away the best corporations looking for a long term home.

A friendly environment for corporations with in NC would be easier, cheaper simpler and lead to a more prosperous NC.

Sadly, it would also mean Bev Perdue would be harder pressed to make the claim that she brought jobs to NC.
