Either it wasn't proposed or it was proposed and Sears didn't take TN up on it, presumably because the benefits of staying put were worth more.<br /><br />Two: Sears?

With Phil Bredesen as governor in 2005, nearly $200,000,000 for less than 1,300 direct jobs at Nissan. $160 million for Dell in 199 for 3000 anticipated jobs.<br /><br />This is all to say - this is a government/corporate issue, not a partisan issue; the numbers for Sears don't look as outlandish when compared to precedent; Nissan's move seems to have worked out well for TN; I don't have that same impression with the Dell move - I haven't kept up with it, but in my mind I remember us getting stiffed by Dell - I've been wrong before, though.<br /><br />http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aOLdoiTLBMUsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
