And so if you don't read local news or don't live in a big city this practice is probably news to you...but states have been using tax incentives to attract and keep businesses for many, many years.

Actually I was a cub reporter when Sony announced they were moving into the old VW plant 20 minutes from my home.

The one the vacated and ran when their tax incentives ran out.

I was at the press conference and asked the other reporters what happens when the tax break for Sony runs out.

Yeah, they ran too...

However I don't remember the POTUS doing it directly.
