This gushing sentiment concludes his 7/31/2017 letter to the editor, in which he also lays out this reasoning:
1.) If we do nothing, we get nothing. (True, but it'll prevent an annual heist of $200,000,000 from the state budget.)
2.) Something that isn't yours doesn't cost you anything when you allow the owner to keep it. (I think we'd all be better off keeping our senses about this dubious deal. And raise your hand if you want to live near this plant.)
3.) Completely unique industries that are thriving, profitable, and in high demand are the kind we want in the State. (First of all, 'unique' is defined as being the only one: SOLE. The use of 'completely' is superfluous. And how is an assembly plant for electronics 'completely unique'?)
