There should be a
federal law against a corporation pitting one state or city against
another for how many freebies and how much money they can extract
from the taxpayers. Level the playing field for the benefit of all.

Miamisburg
Asked To Pay Evenflo $400K To Stay
Miamisburg
city leaders are being asked to pay Evenflo $400,000 to remain in
town.
City
of Miamisburg economic development staff is urging City Council to
approve a forgivable loan in that amount to keep the designer and
producer of infant car seats and child activity centers from leaving.
Last
summer when Evenflo was acquired by Chinese company Goodbaby
International, Evenflo had about 400 employees between Miamisburg,
which became the company’s corporate home in 2008, and a
manufacturing facility in Piqua.
“Since
that time, the company has confidentially been exploring relocation
options,” Chris Fine, Miamisburg development director, wrote to
City Manager Keith Johnson in a city memo dated July 30. “Those
options included building a new facility outside the city of
Miamisburg or possibly relocating the company to existing offices in
Boston.”
