Why is North Dakota creating jobs? I believe they stop Liberals at the border up there.
Not that I think you are interested in facts, p.e. people, but just in case - North Dakota is the only state with a state owned bank, the Bank of North Dakota in Bismarck, and a state owned flour mill, the North Dakota Mill and Elevator in Grand Forks.
If you're interested in why they are creating jobs, it's because they have oil and a booming wind energy sector.
North Dakota also has lower taxes & doesn't penalize most businesses. In PA, as you noted, some businesses (those with lobbyists in Harrisburg & Phila.) get special favors. The rest have to deal with bureaucracy, over-regulation, over-taxation, and subsidized competition.
Good article. Not sure if the sports references were relevant or necessary...but good article. This city and state need to keep being exposed for what they are and what they do/don't do. Keep up the good work Karen.
When will we stop complaining and get rid of the lifelong politicians who only serve themselves?
KUTCH507, next year is our chance. By then, we will have the dozen trials or guilty pleas in the first round of the Bonus Scandal to refresh our memories. And with any luck, we'll have the chance for a referendum on a Constitution convention next fall. The first step, though, is to find good people to throw into office when we throw the bad ones out. It's not too early to think about restoring competition to our elections, one candidate at a time.
leave it to a demcorat to get upset that we're not taxing something that doesn't exist yet. Heller also fails to mention the half billion Keystone East application that has a fairly good chance of getting funded. In fact, it's probably the most well put together application for ARRA rail funding out there.
What are you complaining about? Come to NJ, home of horrible taxes, corruption and the worst business environment...and we can't even pump our own gas (something 48 states allow)
I agree. Under-tax the gas industry...but create a casino industry that creates lots of cost (policing, traffic, regulatory, bankruptcy, drunk driving, property crime). It's all about Rendell and his cronies. I predict his legacy will infamous.
the reason the state (taxpayers) hasn't received any stimulus money yet is cause the politicians haven't figured out how to steal it yet.
Where’s Thomas Paine when you need him?
Next year we will have our chance? I voted today, how about the rest of you? Your chance to start was today.
North Dakota has state owned banks, flour mills etc? Isn't that what the Republicans claim is what's wrong with the legislation that Obama and friends have proposed?That Medical reform will become a State Owned entity? Talk about being phony.
If the writer was going to use a sports reference, why not say "Ryan Howard's salary for 8 games" ?
