According to public records, the state will pay over $200 million dollars in South Carolina taxpayer dollars to Boeing the next three years. Furthermore, an additional $10 million dollars in tax incentives will be given to Boeing each year they maintain operations in South Carolina. So the reality is that the state is spending far more money to get Boeing to come to South Carolina than Boeing will actually generate in the state. I encourage you to end the "FOX" brand of politics and give the people of South Carolina an unbiased assessment of the issues! Mr. Barrett,
