Panasonic Not Moving HQ and Thousand Jobs to Brooklyn

 Panasonic decided not to move its headquarters and almost a thousand jobs to a Brooklyn property owned by Forest City Ratner.

Instead, it will move from Secaucus, NJ to Newark, NJ, acccording to Crain's New York and Gothamist. Brooklyn apparently could't compete with a $102.4 million subsidy offered to Panasonic to move to Newark. But trouble looms: the town of Secaucus is suing.

We are better off then competing in a foolish give away to corporations.

Would be better to use the money on small business in Brooklyn that actually generate more jobs.

Now we understand why NJ is in such trouble.
