It' good to know who our elected officials really serve

Because it sure isn't us!
The governor of Idaho pitched low labor costs in his state in trying to entice gun manufacturers to relocate. His letter said that "Idaho’s average cost for our highly skilled, often custom-trained workforce is 21 percent less than Connecticut". Who would have ever imagined that having the second- lowest per capita personal income would be a point to brag about? The gov's spokesman says that the intent was to emphasize predictability for business: “You want predictability in taxes, you want predictability in labor costs, you want predictability in your costs,” Hanian says. “Right now, in this business sector, in a number of states, there is anything but certainty. That’s not the case with Idaho.”  And when big business comes to town, they will expect those favorable conditions to be maintained. How will that play with the voters, I wonder?
In out nation's capital, Walmart is in a funk over a proposed "living wage". Keep in mind that they are the masters of low-wage management and manipulation. They are upset that someone might actually want them to pay a decent wage, which the federal minimum definitely is not. So, they threatened to take their marbles and go home. The mayor's position? "In a statement, Gray hinted more strongly than ever that he is prepared to veto the legislation. “The cancellation of three planned stores will surely set us back,” he said. “I strongly urge the Council to consider whether this legislation will actually promote strong economic development in the District and expand job opportunities for District residents.”"  Apparently he REALLY wants Walmart in his neighborhood. When they pulled this in Chicago, the mayor caved and vetoed the legislation. Again, whose interest is being served here?
