New York State has a program called "Start up New York". This program features a ten year tax break for companies that move to New York. They have spent millions of dollars pushing this program around the country. (I apologize, I do not know exactly how many millions). Last year, the program brought 76 jobs to the state. No, not 76,000, 76!. You cannot make this stuff up.

About as successful as one I read about in Michigan years ago. Flint spent Millions on an ad campaign called "Flint! Catch our Spark!"

It was a complete failure.
