Economic Development Sales Tax: 10-Year Review - Part IV(b)
(Have the tax dollars raised by the creation of the 4A sales tax been spent as voters were told they would be? You be the judge. The following is re-posted from March 26, 2010.)
The ED Wayback Machine, Part II: This economic development stuff is easy!
See? All it takes to make a multi-billion dollar global corporation do something it had previously thought was not in its interest is to throw just around $300,000 per year at them. And Cingular is big! They will always be here!
What a deal, indeed!
This economic development stuff is easy! We should do more of it!
(Note: In keeping with standard Well practice of not using anyone's names unless we just have to we will be blanking out the names of the authors of these letters. We do this for several reasons. One, Google is forever and while the issues at hand will always resurface from time to time there is no need to have anyone's actual name bubbling up through search engine results from now until forever. Two, we have a "No Hounding" rule here at The Well which states that once someone is out of the news for a period of time they are to be left alone. These letters were written almost ten years ago and none of the authors envisioned them re-surfacing stamped with their names. Further, we don't want this to be a personal gotcha to the authors. The content of the letters is what is important and this is why: 50% of all of these kinds of Letters to the Editors are written by the campaign itself and then a signatory is found for them. 40% are actually written by the signatory but depend heavily on direct information from the campaign. So reading these letters is the best way to get a feel for what the "official" proponents believed (or at least told others) the economic development sales tax would achieve.)

Hi there, just wanted to tell you, I enjoyed this article. It was funny. Keep on posting!
lol, love your humor. Thanks for this.
Salam Tun,
Saya mengerti apa yang Tun maksudkan.Kemerdekaan ke 51 tahun ni cukup muram seolah2 rakyat Malaysia lupa erti kemerdekaan. Sebelum ni,kemerdekaan kita disambut2 dengan begitu meriah, kempen kibarkan jalur GEMILANG dilaksakan,kini? Dimana jalur GEMILANG..? atau perlu Jalur Gemilang dikibarkan secara terbalik? Atau Jalur Gemilang akan dikibarkan bila BN menang di Permatang Pauh????
Selamat Hari Merdeka ke 51 utk rakyat2 Malaysia yang masih mengerti erti kemerdekaan!

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.
A lot of of the things you articulate happens to be astonishingly legitimate and that makes me wonder the reason why I hadn't looked at this in this light previously. This particular article really did switch the light on for me personally as far as this topic goes. Nonetheless at this time there is actually just one factor I am not really too comfortable with so whilst I try to reconcile that with the actual core theme of your point, let me see what all the rest of the visitors have to say.Very well done.

The beauty of these blogging engines and CMS platforms is the lack of limitations and ease of manipulation that allows developers to implement rich content and 'skin' the site in such a way that with very little effort one would never notice what it is making the site tick all without limiting content and effectiveness.

Hands down, Apples app store wins by a mile. Its a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but Im not sure Id want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case. Technically, colitis disease is an inflammation of the colon.

There were other telephone companies whose rates were cheaper than Cingular. I agree with SA Dough Heck that Government should not interfere in the marketplace. Why did Cingular receive subsidies or money incentives from Midland to the detriment of the other telephone companiew who had cheaper rates.
This is how big companies succeed. Goverment gives the contracts to the big companies instead of to the little companies who have cheaper rates.

By the way, I DISAGREE WITH YOUR POLICY OF REMOVING THE REAL NAME OF THE AUTHOR. In america are many parasites who seek fame, attention, pirate the works of others so they will be famous, rich, etcetera. Look at the economic mess of the USA today because people do not know whom to hear, because Pres. GWBush does not reveal from whom he pirated his $300 rebate idea, or Alan Greenspan does not reveal who instructed him to put all 100%, not just 95% of america's workers to employment, so that the GDP of the US will grow at 7% to 8% a year by ratio and proportion, instead of just 2% to 3% a year which is the GDP growth a year when only the upper 95% are working and the bottom 5 percentile, known as the Bell Curve's 5% rejection tail or UNemployables are not employed.
