Somebody Forgot to Tell the Comptroller
The State Comptroller publishes an economic development flyer called Texas Rising. This publication gets sent to pretty much every local elected official in the State of Texas. I happened upon the June 2008 Issue and under the "TEXpansions" column there is the following:
Businesses and industries are expanding their facilities throughout Texas. Here is a sampling of recently announced expansions, tracked by the Office of the Governor, Economic Development and Tourism Division.
Midland Dean Baldwin Painting LP Aircraft strip and paint services company. Midland Development Corp. lease and economic development agreement is worth nearly $23 million. At least 200 full-time jobs by October 2011
Too bad the deal was killed on April 15...seems like enough time to pull that "TEXpansion" in a June issue.

Of course.
Track record? Who said that?
Hmmm...I googled and saw the same stories. So they rehired the 65 they laid off, have they paid their back taxes and caught up on the rent?
This is good ! Sixty five families are back at work !
This is a GOOD thing ! I wish them the best ! Good on 'em all !! God bless each and every one of them ! ( no sarcasm ! I really mean it !)....
But..
When this happens again..( and it could...just..) .. Who is going to fork out the sheckels for these fine folks ?...
New Mexico ? Or ..Someplace else ???
I have seen some news articles saying that Dean Baldwin has re-hired everyone they laid off a couple of months ago.
Maybe we are behind the curve and the MDC is courting them again.
