As such, it is a bad thing. - Oily Discharge Fri, 22 Jul 2011 11:59:43 +0100 http://www.theind.com/business-news/acadiana-business/8707-schumacher-creating-600-local-jobs#comment-20111 The State just bought a private company half of it's new building. I love Kip Schumacher and I think he has a great company. I do not blame him. This action shows you just how desperate our State is to create jobs. We give away huge sums that we do not have to a wealthy corporation. Governor, would you mind sending my company a check for $10,000,000? I will hire enough people to make the news. By the way, please do not send any money to individual human beings, they have no lobbyists, send limited amount in campaign contributions, are not hiring your relatives and friends, nor are they putting your buddies on their Board of Directors, because they do not have one. Thanks for giving my tax money away to wealthy corporations, I certainly don't need it. - George J.

What is WRONG with ya'll??? We're talking about AT LEAST 600 NEW JOBS making $62,500 a year with benefits!! AND the company is spending $19 million to do this expansion. The money was not just GIVEN to them (corporate welfare)the money is tied to producing those jobs. Those of you whiners...what would you have liked better....for them to move their headquarters (and the vast majority of these great paying jobs) to another state or another country? NO...because then you would be complaining about how our much our state and local officials suck for not being able to keep them here. Ungrateful Morons! Well, since no one else has said it, THANK YOU!!! Thank you Dr. Schumacher; thank you Gov. Jindal; thank you LED Louisiana Fast Start; thank you Lafayette Economic Development Authority; thank you LCG; and thank you to anyone else who was involved in helping to make this deal happen! Lafayette is a better place because of all of you. - Knowledge is Power Thu, 21 Jul 2011 19:58:08 +0100 http://www.theind.com/business-news/acadiana-business/8707-schumacher-creating-600-local-jobs#comment-20097 It is amazing how some people will complain about anything. How much do you think would have be lost if the company moved out of state? I like it when someone produces jobs. Why didn't ya'll complain about Gachassin making his money on the backs of the taxpayers. This company is the real deal, not a secret group that #$%@$ the taxpayers. - the original northsidian Thu, 21 Jul 2011 17:52:23 +0100 http://www.theind.com/business-news/acadiana-business/8707-schumacher-creating-600-local-jobs#comment-20094 Oily, just curious. How many people do you employ and what is the average salary? These programs are in place to foster growth, which I assume is a bad thing to you? - Coullion Thu, 21 Jul 2011 16:05:05 +0100 http://www.theind.com/business-news/acadiana-business/8707-schumacher-creating-600-local-jobs#comment-20093 My thoughts exactly. What with all those record profits you'd think they could fund it themselves. - eiswright Thu, 21 Jul 2011 15:44:18 +0100 http://www.theind.com/business-news/acadiana-business/8707-schumacher-creating-600-local-jobs#comment-20092 "the state offered Schumacher Group a customized incentive package, a performance-based grant...to reimburse 50 percent of the cost of expanding headquarters facilities" ------------- Corporate Welfare distorts the market place. - Oily Discharge Thu, 21 Jul 2011 15:34:11 +0100
