Remington Leaving New York After 198 Years, Packs It’s Bags For Alabama
Too bad for the people losing their jobs, too bad for New York losing tax revenue, too bad for the support business that will have to close with the expansion. I think I am seeing a trend here. Due to hostile policies by liberal New York politicians, nothing good happens for the state. Nothing.
I don’t have a dog in this fight so good luck to Remington. Too bad for the people of Ilion, NY. You may want to remember this at the voting booth.
High level sources have informed Yellowhammer News that Remington, one of the world’s largest gun manufacturers, will on Monday join Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley in announcing that they are bringing over 2,000 jobs to Alabama.
The company is viewing the move into Alabama as an expansion, but it will likely impact their Ilion, NY plant as well. The New York facility currently employees around 1,200 people. It is expected to stay open, but with a reduced workforce.
The initial estimated impact on Alabama’s economy will be roughly $87 million.

Toejam – He can offer all of the free tax breaks he wants. I am sure the next Solyndra will be happy to take advantage of the program.
