Dell has conned Winston-Salem into paying for the land of its already taxpayer-financed PC factory. That makes it a total of $284 million dollars that you and I, the citizens and taxpayers of North Carolina, have ponied up for this swindle.
The UK website The Guardian has had some fun with this, posting pictures to show what $7 million of land can buy you. Is it any wonder why the rest of the world is laughing at us?
Insane. Absolutely insane. I’m all for creating jobs, but this is ridiculous. I hope the lawsuit succeeds in bringing this madness to an end.
This is terrible waste of tax payer money.
