the corporate state in action

From FEEmail:
Indiana Taxpayers on Hook for New Honda Plant
6/29/2006
"Indiana became the winner yesterday in a short five-way race to land the Honda Motor Company's newest assembly plant in North America. . . . The project will cost the State of Indiana about $140 million. Of that, $40 million will go directly to Honda; about $45 million will be spent on roads and other infrastructure to serve the plant, and another $50 to $55 million will go to improvements in the region in anticipation of growth caused by the plant." (New York Times, Thursday)
