Down in Rock County, Lou Kaye has been publishing Rock Netroots since 2006 (a year longer than I’ve been publishing at FREE WHITEWATER).
Kaye has a fine website. I’m not of the Left as Kaye is, but that’s not necesary to enjoy Rock Netroots.
The community of which Kaye writes is beset by all sorts of chicanery and lies, from newspapers and self-styled elites, that hold back so many people in Janesville and environs.
Consider an excellent post from Rock Netroots, entitled, Collectivism To The Rescue Of Yet Another Janesville Business.
Kaye quotes the from the Gazette, twice:
“Ultimately, we came back to the fact that our employee base here in Rock County is exceptional, hardworking and fully trained,” Achs said. “We believe we have world-class manufacturing talent right here in our own hometown, and we decided that it was wisest to go with the people who helped us achieve our success in the first place.”
In order to keep United Alloy in Janesville, the city provided an incentive package worth $887,460, and the state kicked in a forgivable loan of $500,000 and tax credits worth up to $130,000.
Kaye correctly observes: “Okay, so they’re picking up $1.5M in collectivist hand-outs to stay put in Janesville, otherwise they would be moving out. Got it.”
I’d invite you to read the whole post, and visit the site regularly.
Great stuff.
