Microchip manufacturers could win tax breaks to expand in Illinois – WCIA (Champaign)

“We have to compete with states like Ohio and Indiana,” Rep. Mike Halpin said, “and until we can convince either the federal government or our sister states to stop that race to the bottom, we need to provide what we can to good Illinois companies that want to expand their operations here.”

There’s already a state of the art Motorola semiconductor plant just sitting mothballed in Harvard, IL. During a 2 year chip shortage not a single manufacturer expressed interest in retooling it and opening it back up and yet we are to believe a small tax break is going to lure them here when a global chip shortage did not? Libtard logic.
