It appears that the News & Record editorial staff has been reading my blog. Two weeks ago I proposed a set of economic incentive guidelines that companies would have to follow in order to be considered for any taxpayer subsidies. The City currently has a written policy on handing out incentives, mine takes things a little further.
This morning's editorial states," Requiring Sherwin-Williams, as a condition of the grants, to monitor its emissions and work with neighbors on a reduction plan would improve the quality of life for surrounding city and county residents. In fact, that is just the kind of thing taxpayer-funded incentives ought to enable."
Exactly!...
Roch Smith Jr. recently sent me some research on what Sherwin Williams operations might throw into our already dangerous soup that we call air... and it ain't pretty! If you want a chemistry lesson that will curl your hair, and perhaps relieve you of some of it... take a look at this.
