Democrat & Chronicle dodges COMIDA Controversy

By optimusprime ( May 16, 2007 at 3:55 pm) · Filed under News

Local Activists take a stand for IDA Reform!

Flip over today’s D & C Sports and you will find the Business Section. There you will find the local coverage of yesterday’s monthly COMIDA meeting protested by local labor unions and activists who demand IDA reform.

Scan the article and you will notice an excellent round-up of every tax break granted to Monroe County businesses in vivid detail and description.

However…

There is one glaring omission by author Mary Chao: no mention of the COMIDA board voting in favor of doling tax breaks to hotel owner Manish Patel of over $100,000 to hire 1 additional employee.

    Just posted this elsewhere on RT.

    And who said it couldn’t get worse………..

    Maggie said in Dec. 06 ” Most recently, we worked together to bring Florida-based CareGuide and 200 new jobs to Monroe County. “

    D&C reports today, “CareGuide Inc.announced today that between 20 and 25 workers will be laid off at the company’s call center in Henrietta.”

    Say it isn’t so Ms. Magoo.
