Did Intel made the decision because of the high quality of Arizona's educational system (#1 in slashed state budget for education)? Or could it be that the GOP legislators favor incarceration over education? Since Intel is rooted here the "prison" state does not bode well for bringing new business, tourists, visitors and families to the state. $$$'s, NOT the GOP determined the decision.

Indeed, Fab42 decision was made back in 2010 and work began in 2011. Considering that only last year former Intel CEO, Craig Barrett, told Gov. Brewer and the Republican led legislature that if \if Intel were starting anew, Arizona likely wouldn't be in the running for its business in part, because of massive budget cuts of K-12 & University funding when Barrett stated that \Arizona's education system is hindering economic-development efforts.\ I've also been told personally by individuals at green industry companies that they would not consider relocating any of their business here due to the political atmosphere and because AZ is ranked 49th in the country for education with one saying, \they would be hard pressed to convince their employees to relocate here, especially if they have young children.\ http://www.azcentral.com/news/election/azelections/articles/2011/03/30/20110330arizona-education-intel-ceo.html#ixzz25WYa26Fm I doubt that Intel’s decision to expand was made based on legislation passed only last month.

I’ve also been told personally by individuals at green industry companies that they would not consider relocating any of their business here due to the political atmosphere and because AZ is ranked 49th in the country for education with one saying, \they would be hard pressed to convince their employees to relocate here, especially if they have young children.\

It takes a long time to carry out that kind of a project. It has no relation to current tax policies. A top official, I think the CEO, of Intel said that if he had to decide on the expansion today, he would not do it because of the lack of support for education in this state.

The tech industry, particularly in California, is booming with job growth. By your logic, Democrats are creating even more jobs! Is this headline a joke?
