My favorite line in the artcle is the CEO stating he will "hold executives accountable" Apparently they were not doing that before?

So, I guess the taxpayers of Boston and Massachusetts really scored BIG on this one. Such sophisticated public officials - did anyone look at an Income Statement or 20 year stock price curve?

GE's legacy in western Massachusetts is PCB's.

The headquarters will be built. GE is far from going under and that's what it would take to stop them from building a new headquarters. And when it is built, will you sing Marty's praises or move onto another complaint about the mayor?
