THE GOOGLE PIG-IN-A-POKE

Make that an air-conditioned warehouse full of computers ... in a poke. That's it. That's what the taxpayers of N.C. are getting from the multiple-million-$ Google tax give-away.

The Google boondoggle "won't produce spinoff jobs that officials have touted, according to economic development experts," says the AP.

Even Google says the center probably won't spin off new local industries.

"It's a building filled with computers," said company spokesman Barry Schnitt.
