No to Bass Pro
Max and the gang at the Arkansas Times blog pointed this story from the Minneapolis paper out earlier today, and I just about launched into orbit. It is a darned good thing to see somebody finally rise up against the corporate welfare queens of Bass Pro Shop. Why North Little Rock Mayor Pat Hays is in love with these guys is totally past my understanding. Bass Pro, which is currently negotiating to take over the Memphis Pyramid, will drive dozens of small profitable employers out of business and bring about a zero net increase in taxes. Why is it a wacky idea to expect a corporation to pay its' own way?
