[…Do you suffer from having a small penis? This can actually make a guy shy away from sex. But it does not have to be that way. You have more control over the look of your penis than you realize. You can get a longer and thicker member simply by usin…

Kentucky needs to consider reviving Farmer’s bill replacing state income tax and sales tax exemptions with tax on services…as an incentive for new jobs!

As part of their incentive package Ky should eliminate 20% of state tax expenditures, $100 million of bureaucracy, eliminate half billion of corporate tax shelters, reduce 3 tier tax sturcture to two by eliminating weight-distance tax revenues and enhancing motor fuels and truck registration fees by amount of weight distace tax revenues & collect all weight-distance, usage, u-drive-it and property tax evasion.

I don’t agree with your statement “everybody talked bad about Martha Layne Collins and Toyota.”

The first to complain was Steve Beshear over the incentive package. He felt was wrong\illegal. He lost.

The second to complain was former Mayor of Lexington- Snotty Basler.

Yes- some did object because the old lingering JAPANESE FACTOR. That quickly faded.

There was an Asian Industrial Revolution taking place in the USA at that time and Kentucky, because of our work ethics, scored big during those days of Toyota and the Toyota sub suppliers.

It is my opinion the money would be better spent if the state and the colleges would cut a deal with Toyota on “new age batteries” of which Toyota, Honda, and a host of Japanese manufactures have been working on for many years. And with existing patent rights.

Its a shaky deal this big battery factory, but . . . due to hard times, the public will buy into it. And, that is not a bad thing, if they were properly informed.
There is much more, long range, forecasting that is needed before we commit to such a huge deal.

I bet cha, if someone would go to a Japanese\American auto maker they just might want to build such a facility in the USA and transfer technology the Japanese already own in this field.

When the Feds, Bill Clinton, approved the NAFTA deal that is when ASIA started to import factories and jobs to Japan, China, South America, and various no EPA no Labor Laws regions, of the world. China, as you know has been the big winner in this last Industrial Revolution.

In the days ahead there will be big trouble in CHINA as the difference between the HAVES and HAVE NOT is so huge, due to their population. And China’s abuse of its citizens.

As for this battery plan. It is a good idea but I think Commerce people need to look further into what is developing in others countries. It may be we could build a research center here, but the cost of labor in third world countries would make it hard to compete in the sale of a new product with a higher market cost.

If you think that does not matter, then look at the expansions by Fortune 500 Companies going on in China.

Caution . . . is what I would suggest.

Then, the Governor would not have a problem with incentives , especially in the neighborhood of one billion dollars.

Desperation . . . many times is a BAD TIME to make important decisions with such financial magnitude.
