Gotion’s total incentive package from the State of Illinois, which includes REV, Invest in Illinois, and other incentives, is valued at $536 million. Through REV, Gotion is eligible to receive tax benefits totaling $213 million over 30 years. The REV agreement specifies a minimum company investment of $1.9 billion and the creation of 2,600 full-time jobs that are paid at least 120% of the average wage of similar job classifications in Kankakee County.
Golly. The massively corrupt Illinois Democrats in a deal with the even more evil and corrupt Chinese Communists. What could go wrong?

This can’t be right.
Didn’t someone tell Flounder China is an ethnostate with no tolerance for gays or other minorities?
And he gave them over half a billion of taxpayer subsidy?
How can this possibly be?
Don’t tell me Flounder and his pack of Dem viper counterparts have no guiding moral principals apart from their own self-deification. Because that would be really disheartening.

If my math is right, that comes to over $200,000 incentive per job.
Math is not something that the communist left of the Democrat Party understands.

And what is round Boy doing about the shuttered Chrysler plant in Belvidere? There was talk about a battery plant or an EV pant being run out of those facilities. I suppose that is all it was. Just talk.

With the proven risks of EV batteries…
What insurance company in their right mind would insure this place…?
No, much of the taxpayer funded ‘incentives’ will land in the pockets of Democrats and their cronies. This is the con of Green.

Meanwhile Indiana just announce new $1.5 bil ENTEK EV plant…(doesn’t say if Indiana had to dished out $1/2 bil in subsidies like JB/Illinois)…So, how many EV/EV battery plants does Indiana now have compared to one in Illinois w $1/2 bil in state taxpayer subsidies?
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.

Brilliant…!
Add a deadly bacteria to an EV battery, what could go wrong…?
Wuhan Battery Co. anyone…
To make batteries for EV vehicles that never get sold.
Just a matter of time. This company will be bankrupt in 24 to 36 months after starting…and all the money will have vanished.
