It makes me laugh when people complain about local government giving tax breaks to businesses to help convince them to locate in their area and bring new jobs. Some people don't get the fact that there are multiple cities all around the south that are competing for those jobs. Why not be happy about the fact that the local governments are working hard to convince these businesses to locate here in North Alabama instead of in West Tennessee or south Mississippi or north Georgia? They are in no way scratching the backs of the business owners. They are actually looking out for the local citizens by bringing in new jobs.
