Herald on the hunt
The pit bulls at the Herald have belatedly latched on to the Evergreen Solar debacle and don't plan on letting it go.
Heck, we've got foot-dragging, tut-tutting from investment analysts and editorials questioning the wisdom and sanity of state officials.
Nowhere do we find what I suggested last week was an important piece of context: the fact the state made the same bad business deals with Raytheon and Fidelity. I know I can't find clips from the Herald suggesting they took on those titans with intensity over deals made by the Weld and Cellucci administrations.
And there's certainly nothing like a thoughtful piece on the state's overall business tax incentive policy where companies get to keep their breaks even after they shed jobs.
What we need is a top-to-bottom review of policies that shift the tax burden from business to individuals. We don't need an artificial feeding frenzy where a paper gets into a snit because Deval Patrick doesn't have a pile of papers with him when accosted by a reporter.
Somehow I don't expect we'll be getting that from the folks at Herald Square. That's not the ox they're looking to gore.

I think it gets exagerated as a mistake now because the jobs are going to China, in a tough economic recession. Also it's a bunch of "green" jobs, which were touted as being our answer to the future.
