At least to Bombardier. Remember Missouri offering the company $320 million and a plant to assemble jets in Kansas City? Yeah, apparently that wasn’t enough as the company announced that it would build the jets in a suburb of Montreal instead.

Missouri officials are understandably upset. Maybe had we offered them the full $880 million in incentives that the State wanted initially we would have gotten them. I’m sure that will be the argument next time a company comes hat-in-hand to the state dangling a number of jobs to the highest bidder.
