On December 23, 2014, President Obama signed a bill to give millions of dollars in a Grant to Labinal Power Systems in Salisbury, Maryland.
The grant was to CREATE an additional FOUR HUNDRED jobs here on the Shore but here's what else you don't know.
One year ago there were actually 975 people working at Labinal in Salisbury. As people quit and others retired in the last year, Labinal did not replace those employees, NONE of them. THEY KNEW they would be moving to Texas and my belief is that Barbara Mikulski knew it too. There was not going to be an additonal 400 jobs here on the Shore and 325 of that 400 had already left.
So for the MILLIONS of dollars Mikulski and Obama gave them, it would have really only created an additional 75 jobs!
Labinal told Mikulski they had been contracted to build 32 new Chinook Helicopters and in return of the grant they'd create an additional 400 jobs. Funny how politics works, isn't it.
A year ago they had 975 employees. That dropped to 650 and just DAYS ago, (obviously without ANY research from Mikulski) they gave a Grant to a company who TODAY announced they're moving to Texas. How convenient!
We're working on finding out exactly how much money Labinal got from the Obama/Mikulski Grant. So there will be more to come...
Why isn't there terms of acceptance of Grant funds????????? Unbelievable!
ReplyDeleteHOW does this buisness get Tax payer $$$ when its a french owned company and if they didnt HIRE more employees with yhe grant where did the grant money go when they where WELL AWARE that they where moving to Texas...I want people ARRESTED.
ReplyDeleteAnd how much indirectly does Mikulski collect for this grand scam of the taxpayers hard earned money? Oh wait that grant was for moving cost not jobs! And the rich get richer off my hard earned tax dollars! i should just change my name and claim to be 'Undocumented' it pays more than a 40hr work week!
ReplyDeletePlease where is the grant money? PLEASE Tell Us!!
ReplyDeleteThis is why corporate tax breaks should be illegal. Pay your damn taxes like people have to!
ReplyDeleteAnyone know what Mikulski's stock portfolio looks like; Peelosi's too while you are at it.
ReplyDeleteSHE MADE A SMALL FORTUNE FROM THIS DEAL'
ReplyDeletebusiness as usual for the POSERs!
ReplyDeleteeveryone of you Labinal employees that voted for Obama, enjoy your job security.
ReplyDeleteThis is almost as bad as the lower shore broadband failure that she pumped millions into and continues to do so.
ReplyDeleteLets not forget about City of Salisbury tax relief given to the Frogs.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they will donate the property to the county to expand the Civic Center and it's parking facilities....
ReplyDeleteNow the mayor is saying its Nothing to do with him its Omalleys fault? Isn't the mayor buddies with liarton???
ReplyDeleteAs per the pt fat blubber.
Yes Anon 1:26 that will create a lot of jobs you idiot!
ReplyDeleteJoe, this is what I think you started SBYnews for. To find out what mainstream media will not tell.
ReplyDeletePlease if at all possible follow up on this and keep us informed. All you liberal idiots should be bitch slapped for continuing to support these people that are stealing our tax dollars.
First off, was there any kind of performance requirement attached to the grant, say, proving they added 400 jobs, staying in Maryland, etc.?
ReplyDeleteAnd 1:26's comment makes me wonder, are these the A-holes Pollitt didn't want to get off land for the skatepark because that company might expand and need it? Did HE know at that point about them moving????
It's spelled Labinal
ReplyDeleteThanks Charles. Simple typo in the last paragraph, which has now been corrected. The "V" is right next to "B", my bad.
ReplyDeleteIts all a game to the politician they dont give a dam about the voters well being only themselves.
ReplyDeleteYou should change the name of that picture post to Hogs at the Trough. Stenny, Bab's, big O, Pelosi
ReplyDeleteAll that money and land wasted on a skateboard park that ill be gone in a couple years. While the politicians stood by and let something very important, like 650 jobs leave the county.
ReplyDeleteLets see....skateboard park? or 650 paying jobs?
Supporting that skateboard park now? Obomba voters?
Liberal prorities are such a joke.
like air conditioning all the schools. hahahaha!
What a stupid local government and citizens to get taken like they were.
ITS AMAZING DUMMOCRATS POUND THERE CHEST WHEN A BUSINESS OPENS BUT WHEN A LARGE BUISNESS CLOSES IT CRICKETS.
ReplyDeleteI work at this place and let's see they wasted all this money on redoing the parking lot and a lot of unecessary stuff
ReplyDeleteSo why / where is this $$$$$ to keep us in our jobs? ???? What are we suppose to do alot of us are not the young crowd and not near retiring age so tell us what are we to do
ReplyDeletethanks Joe...this answered my question....my first question when i found out they were moving is what happened to that money? another Md business lost to Texas...its a darned shame and i feel bad for those employees...and this not just hurts those employees its hurts all of us in this area and the local economy.,...my prayers to all of those people...keep digging please....
ReplyDeleteHey the skatepark will create more jobs in 2015 than Labinal and they only got $250k! LOL
ReplyDeleteDO WHAT THE DEMS DO COUNT ON YOUR GOVERMENT ,AND FAIL.
ReplyDeleteNever read so many ignorant comments in my life.When a President signs a bill it's not a grant.The contractor is Boeing. Labinal is a Boeing supplier.When money is appropriated in a bill it's not like an ATM machine. It's a process.Mikulski probably getting face time trying to pursuade Labinal to stay.OBVIOUSLY they had already made up their mind. Bash the President on something else not this.FASCISTS.
ReplyDeleteFrom the day Harvard was sold to Labinal they lied and are still lying. Karma! So glad I got out when I did!
