     Corporate Welfare in Viroqua

    Viiroqua NewsViroqua City Council has passed a recommendation which will provide Walgreens with approximately $600,000 in tax assistance to make infrastructure improvements in order to site a new Walgreens store next to the Viroqual Food Coop.

    Alderman Vernie Smith cast the only dissenting vote and the measure passed, 7-1.

    This is the most blatantly uninformed misuse of public money I can think of. Don't let people tell you that there is no givaway. Tax breaks are real money. You and I and the schools will make up the difference. I can think of many development projects that are more deserving of public dollars than a new Walgreens. What...., they can't afford to build it without public assistance. How dumb are we and so what if they don't.

    You tell'em Vernie.
