A contract deal that Ford Motor Co. reached Tuesday with the United Auto Workers will mean about a $1 billion investment and hundreds of new jobs for a suburban Kansas City Ford plant, and was hailed by Gov. Jay Nixon as a "historic" boost to manufacturing in the state.

Nixon, a Democrat, called a special legislative session last summer authorizing up to $100 million of tax breaks to entice Ford to continue making vehicles at its Claycomo plant in the Kansas City area, where Ford Escapes and F-150s are manufactured. snip

Missouri Sen. Chuck Purgason, a Republican who opposed the 2010 Missouri tax breaks for Ford, said Tuesday he was not impressed with the contract development.

2. Bizarre

Democrat wanting tax cuts for a large Corporation and Republican not wanting those cuts..We will never know if those tax cuts were in any way responsible for the profitability of the Corporation but since it is giving our substantial bonuses it probably actually works out to a tax cut for the workers as well.

3. See the difference?

If it would have been tax cuts for a company to move jobs overseas the Republican would have been all for it.
