If I give you $5000 budget every year for 30 years to do a specific job, and you did it twice half-assed in that entire 30 year period and the other 28 years you either pocketed the money for yourself or spent it on dumb things that aren't needed, do you think I should still give you the $5000 each year?TNECD has offered on average $22K for each new job under grant agreements in Montgomery County, more than 3.5x what is offered in Memphis....(These are for out of state companies coming to TN). If Amazon wanted to build a new warehouse, why should they get 3.5x as much from the state building it in a more well to do area?
Why should Memphis have to fix the state's infrastructure. No other area in the state has to do that. Memphis had to spend millions to fill potholes on state roads that TDOT wouldn't fill or reimburse.
The companies are the ones who want to move in the first place, regardless of what the state does.....Their employees don't want to live in a dying city overrun by crime, with the worst schools ever, with nothing else there except an overrated Beale Street and a NBA team that won't even be there in a decade....
