Nixon signs the Missouri Manufacturing Jobs Act, Ford incentives in Kansas City

Gov. Jay Nixon signed the Missouri Automotive Manufacturing Jobs Act on Thursday afternoon, calling it a turning point in the fight for the future of manufacturing in Missouri….

….The legislation includes an incentive package of as much as $100 million for Ford if it invests in its plant, which employs 3,700, and maintains or increases the job count there….

[emphasis added]

Isn’t it interesting how people forget…or never bother to pay attention in the first place?
