Locke is a solid Liberal but when faced with job losses what does the guy do? He ponies up some corporate welfare, errrrr, tax cuts, for Boeing.
What a hoot.
"Gov. Gary Locke on Monday launched an 11th-hour bid for a major tax break for The Boeing Co., the state's largest private employer, if it agrees to build its next-generation jetliner here.
The tax package, available only if Boeing assembles the new 7E7 here, would be worth an estimated $2.4 billion over 20 years. It includes a 40 percent cut in business taxes, research and development tax credits and lower property taxes. "
