Re: Blackmail

If they followed through with it they could be sued...that was their big mistake...hell that kind of comment could be construed as a sort of economic terrorism with the patriot act.

Breach of contract with LEDA. Check out the article from the advocate in this (just released) BBR news item:
»Louisiana Fiber and 'Economic Blackmail'?

"The Cingular call center was opened in 2001 in a Lafayette Economic Development Authority technology park.

It is the result of about $18 million worth of concessions, LEDA President and CEO Gregg Gothreaux said Thursday.

The concessions include $10 million in state tax breaks, donation of land and the building from LEDA and discounted utilities from LUS, Gothreaux said."
