Politics and Money

[Elroy Jetson]

United Technologies has announced that the Carrier plant where President Pence "saved" 1,000 jobs with a $7 million bribe, will still lose 600 other jobs are which are being moved to Mexico.

United Technologies will also shutter another factory 3 blocks away, sending all 700 jobs to Mexico.

All eyes are now on Governor Mike Pence to see if he'll authorize another $9.2 million of Indiana economic development funds to ransom the 1,300 United Technologies jobs still at risk.

If Pence fails to act, does President Obama have the authority to order Governor Pence to spend the $9.2 million of Indiana taxpayer money? Why did Governor Pence wait until now to ransom the jobs rather than paying the ransom last year when these closures began?


Requests are beginning to roll into Trump Tower from other workers in other Midwest states, hoping their state government will ransom their jobs as well.


In 2014 former United Technologies CEO Louis Chenevert left with a $172 million pay package.
