4.3 million over 12 years for 200 jobs is about 1800 per year per job.

That's well less than the income tax collected by NC on those jobs will be... not to mention the other impacts to the economy.

LA paid a lot more than that originally to get them here.

Incentives don't work if people only come here because of the incentive. Incentives might get them in the door but you have to give them a reason to stay. And in LA... we aren't doing that.

I am sure Albemarle wanted to leave. NC is just paying the moving expenses.

That's how the movie business works too.

Nah bro, that's too difficult to understand. What with the economics and stuff behind it. Just blame it on black people!!

Thank you Jindal and the Secretary of Economic Development at the time.
