Just Not News
… When it is Par for the Course
Two items from yesterday that would be news if they were not simply additions to a long list of travesties and transgressions committed by legislators:
- Brighton Lodging Associates was granted another round of incentives from the County of Monroe Industrial Development Agency despite failing to meet guidelines laid out by COMIDA in the past and not even meeting the agency’s own requirements for eligible entities, not to mention public opposition:
Public hearing in the Town of Brighton . . . All speakers against the project . . . the Town of Brighton board presented a recently adopted resolution against the project
But Ms. Brooks and the COMIDA clan did not give a fuck.
Rochester Turning has much, much more.
- New York state still has the highest per capita tax burden in the nation. This will only be news when we are not number 1.
No worries, everyone knows the way you fight dangerously high spending is with more high spending.
To add insult to injury, CareGuide Inc. has announced some layoffs, according to the D&C, contrary to the creation of 200 new jobs as stated in COMIDA approval notes from a mere 8 months ago.
Again highlighting the futility of a job creation program that has no job creation oversight.
RBJ reports,
“CareGuide stock (OTCBB: CGDE.OB) was trading for 23 cents a share at midday, down 2 cents from Tuesday’s close.”
Now that’s impressive.
That’s after being at over $1.10/share a couple of days ago.
Earnings report was today at 11:00. Plenty o’time for the bottom to fall out.
