Re: Imagine Your Business Competing with the Gover

Here's an example of corporate welfare received by Comcast (I embolded the amount):

said by PAPowerPort:
...snip...

The Governor’s Action Team, economic development professionals who report directly to Governor Rendell and Secretary Yablonsky, worked with Comcast to support the project. DCED has agreed to provide a financial package of $12.75 million that includes a $4 million Opportunity Grant, $6.75 million in Job Creation Tax Credits (JCTC), and $2 million in Job Training Assistance.

...snip...

As a result, Governor Rendell has also committed $30 million in Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) funds to help to defray the costs of the improvements...

At ~$40k per mile, PA could have deployed over 1000 miles of fiber with the money Rendell granted to Comcast.
