I am always struck at the amount that states and municipalities are willing to write off in order to attract companies. On one hand, I understand that companies want to take the best deal, but on the other hand, at times local governments are willing to give up so much money in tax revenue. I remember reading about the competitions for Google Fiber and Amazon's second HQ - it felt absurd the amount cities and states were willing to drop, financially speaking.

I'm glad this one has been renegotiated (especially seeing that the proposed plant never happened), but I'd like to see these deals be more level-headed before they get to this point.
