Blackmail?
Extortion?
Just wondering aloud what methods corporate America uses on politicians to grant them tax relief when middle and lower-income Americans can't even get unemployment extensions- let alone ANY tax relief that's not diluted/offset by raises in other taxes and fees.
At any rate- the taxpayer welfare for Ford legislation finally has made it's way to Governor Nixon's desk to be signed.
According to the Associated Press- here's how who voted:
The 20-7 roll call by which the Missouri Senate voted Wednesday to pass legislation authorizing tax incentives for automobile manufacturers.
