I almost feel sorry for North Carolina. But then I think about the fact that it had the largest film industry in the South for years, and then its legislature determined that all those movie and television production jobs were not real, and they pulled the plug on the incentives. Perfect example of killing the goose that laid the golden egg. And in this case, they also killed the bird in the hand, and the two in the bush remain illusive.
Now, back to Alabama. I am more than ready for Alabama to begin pursuing the R&D and HQ facilities for those automakers with same zeal they have pursued the manufacturing. Just like Nashville and TN went after Nissan in 2006. We did not even make a pitch for the Mercedes HQ.
