Disarming Blue States

We'll even take Democrat Imelt, if he brings GE with him.---dire

I think that GE (Now Electrolux owned!) appliances are made in Louisville Kentucky; technically they're made in the South. Even if we get Immelt, as long as he brings jobs he's welcome. He might just be a beer and a Slim Jim away from joining the human race!

More on GE considering leaving Connecticut for a friendlier business clime.

The first weapon out of Remington's Huntsville plant.

I think that Remington was originally planning to produce AR's and 1911's in Huntsville, but it's all good to me. Rem'lin lever guns would be nice as well since my tastes are like me, old fashioned and mebbie obsolete. I wouldn't mind reproductions of 1875's or 1890's either.

There might be even more companies hitting the door in Connecticut:

How much did Alabama pay to get Remington to locate in Huntsville? 

What is the average production wage there?

How much did Texas pay to get Mossberg?

Google it jt. It's online.

I googled it. State and local bait was $68.9 million. In 10 years, it is supposed to create 2,000 jobs. If it  does, that's a bargain. I couldn't find what the production pay would be.

The pay rate is online too.

_________________________________________________

Was the $68.9 million direct payments, tax abatement, construction of related infrastructure, or a combination thereof?  I dislike direct payments. Construction of related infrastructure is usually a given for most large businesses.  Tax abatements or reductions cost the taxpayer nothing. Plus, the government collects sales taxes and taxes from employees that would not exist otherwise.

The pay rate is online too.

I found the average for the entire plant, I didn't find the production scale.

It's online, plus you can fill out a job application.
