Corporate problem

Originally published 12:54 p.m., January 7, 2008

The Somali business should not be about racism and bigotry. It should be about a company being handed the key to a city. It is not just a local problem, it is happening all over.

It started out the first time a company was able to blackmail a city into tax breaks. Now they claim they need all these concessions to compete. Companies get all these breaks from the city, state, and federal governments “to keep the jobs in America” but then they hire illegals. Then when the government finally decides to do something about that they use the refugees. So not all of us are bigots. I am just tired of big corporations doing what they want, when they want.
