Still cheering, Mass. residents?
"Hundreds cheer yes votes for Plymouth film studio" by Christine Legere, Globe Correspondent | October 28, 2008
PLYMOUTH - Town Meeting easily passed two articles last night that will allow Plymouth Rock Studios to move forward with the construction of a $400 million film studio on a 240-acre golf course, after months of negotiation between local officials and studio executives.
The votes were enough to bring the hundreds of residents who came to watch the deliberations to their feet with raucous cheers and applause.
The second article afforded the studio a series of exemptions from local real estate taxes over the next 20 years. The Tax Increment Financing package passed quickly on a voice vote with no debate.
You actually LIKE being LOOTED, 'eh, Mass. residents?!
Then I GIVE UP on you!!! What a SHIT STATE with SHIT PEOPLE!!!!
The package will give the studio a 75 percent tax break on its real estate taxes
Loring Tripp, a former chairman of the Planning Board and a supporter of Plymouth Rock Studios, said, "I think the Town Meeting representatives realized the momentum was there, that the public wanted this." --more--"
Like a RAPE VICTIM wants to be FUCKED, 'eh?
Of course, "flushing . . . millions of dollars away supporting a highly profitable industry" when it comes to $300 million in taxpayer dollars for Hollywood is no problem and PAYING FOR the CORPORATE TV COMMERCIALS is all right -- especially when they ain't coming here!!!
You got TOOK AGAIN, taxpayers!!!
