Re: Boeing leaving Chicago

Rockford IL

Description

Yeah, they're moving their headquarters from Chicago to Arlington VA (which is just outside of Washington, D.C. No high taxes, political handouts or street crime THERE! Boeing gets a lot of defense contracts; why, I betcha' those contracts come to AT LEAST fifty bucks a year! Do you suppose Boeing and their lobbyists might want to be closer to the Pentagon and Congressional appropriations committee members to exert MORE influence and keep that $50/yr rolling in? What tax breaks or other incentives did VA give Boeing to make the move? What tax breaks or other incentives was Mayor Lightfoot NOT willing to give to keep them here? I'll bet we could have kept Boeing if we had only offered them $1 billion/year in cash PLUS rename Chicago "Boeingburg". By the way, there are LOTS of black people in Alexandria and D.C. I guess we won't know the full story until we get in to Hunter Biden's laptop,
