Go read
If you haven't already, please go and read the series on economic development incentives by my colleagues Taft Wireback and Richard Barron.
Taft leads off the series with this graph from his Sunday story:
North Carolina's job-recruitment policies have developed significant flaws that threaten to squander millions of taxpayer dollars, a News & Record investigation has found.
If that's not enough to get you interested, nothing will. This is a pretty thorough look at how incentives work, and when they don't deliver on promises.
Their series started Sunday and continues through tomorrow. Go read it now.

Yes, taxpayers are getting stolen blind, communities are being sucked dry and the good-ole-boys rule.
So what else is new?
