Haley offered them long term tax exemptions and seized private properties for very little money... so that Toyota could build this plant. Every single Mississippian is paying for these jobs... and will for years... some paid with their personal wealth and property... and the upheaval of their lives.

I love the jobs... I hate the corporatism of Haley and his crony capitalists. I cannot wait to replace him with Phil Bryant... who has promised unlike Haley... to NOT veto eminent domain reform and to pass it into law.

Many of these companies get these sweet deals... and like Oreck in Long Beach, Mississippi... when the exemption time passes for tax free sailing... they packed up their plant and moved it to Tennessee... where they cut another 20 year tax free deal... etc etc etc.

Consider what BMW cost the upstate of SC. It cost them thousands of jobs at BMW, hundreds in businesses supplying BMW, millions of dollars in taxes paid by NON UNION workers, thousands in clothes bought locally for employees children to go to school..You can’t swing a dead cat and not hit a BMW on the roads of the Upstate driven by the employees of BMW....yea boy, that sure sucks for the state of SC. It sucks so much it encouraged Boeing to come to SC.

Just curious, what's the population of Blue Springs and how many folks allegedly had their lives upheaved and lost their personal wealth and property? As a side note, how was it they lost that stuff?

As a side not LLS, what do you personally know about Blue Springs, MS, that qualifies you to to determine that Toyota srewed some residents there, do you live there? Do you live even remotely close to that town?
