Two Wall Street Journal Articles of Interest to Dearborn County
The WSJ Economic Roundup section in the Monday, June 11, 2007 paper is something fellow citizens might want to read--very interesting information..
Articles abound--such as, "Take the Money and Don't Run-- re states continue to lure businesses with promises of tax breaks and grants. But now the deals come with a catch: You don't get the cash until we get the jobs." They talk about a NJ "clawback" provision, where a company moved, and they are forced to pay back the money they received.
Also, there is an article regarding casinos, "Bad Odds-As more states look to win the economic jackpot with casinos, evidence suggests they are playing a losing hand."
Of the top 20 U.S. casino mkts. by annual revenue, in millions of dollars, No. 12 is Lawrenceburg/Rising Sun/Elizabeth/Vevay, IN- 795 million. Source: American Gaming Association.
If you do not receive the Wall Street Journal, it is worthwhile to go to the library and read The Journal Report (Economic Roundup, pp. R1-R12, dated 6/11/2007). Or, a copy of the WSJ issue including the Economic Roundup Journal Rept is available for $5 per copy. Phone 1-800-JOURNAL, fax 1-413-598-2259.
