to Alabama. (where they are hiring all kind of people).

"... $5.5 million that went to Remington Arms in the last five years. The incentives to Remington in New York are among $19.9 million given by nine states to makers of assault weapons in the last decade and were revealed in a list compiled by the Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting.

The $5.5 million that went to Remington and its parent company, Freedom Group, led to the consolidation of manufacturing plants in Massachusetts and Connecticut to Ilion, N.Y., where Remington has manufactured firearms for nearly 200 years.

They were down to close to 600 jobs and now they’ve more than doubled that,” says Sen. Jim Seward, Ilion's representative in the legislature. “These are good manufacturing jobs and obviously we want them to stay.”"

Good for Cuomo et. al. to keep them there then - as of 2013. (they have since moved manufacturing to Alabama, "due to gun laws&quot .


"Alabama gun plant
Remington Outdoor has exceeded its hiring and wage milestones at its new advanced manufacturing and research and development center in Huntsville.

A report from the Chamber of Commerce of Huntsville/Madison County shows the firearm maker had 324 employees as of Aug. 31 with an average hourly wage nearly $10 higher than stated in the development agreement between the company, City of Huntsville and state. Remington was required to create at least 280 full-time positions by the close of the second project year ending Feb. 28.

Remington, which is still hiring production team members through AIDT, received an extensive incentive package from the city, local counties and state to launch the $110 million plant on 100 Electronics Boulevard in Huntsville.
The company plans to rapidly ramp up hiring through the next decade:

680 employees by the end of 2016
1,018 employees by 2017
1,258 employees by 2018
1,498 employees by 2019
1,698 employees by 2020
1,868 employees by 2021"

just how the Media,Wall Street,and Others pulled off the greatest Con Job ever. Had a hunch when Romney and Bush backed away and ran a token Campaign,just to allow the Deep Pockets to Run the Clown. One reads about the possibilities of a Financial Coup,we know of Military Coup's,but we are living the impossible and know hang on,most of the populace will feel the economic pain.

to put as much lipstick on this fuhrerpig as they can before January 20, 2017. The world IS WATCHING our circus here and laughing these asses off when not in fear of the new administration coming in to put their grimy, racist sticky with metaphorical bloody hands on the levers of power, then the blood of AA, gays, independent women and resisters' will be real.
