What are the numbers, do you know? Did GE bring in 99% of the employees that work there? Are we talking about 1 transferee for every 100 local jobs....just what are the numbers truth seeker that you are up in arms over? If you can provide those that would be a reasonable place to start an argument against the Govt. and GE, well sort of. Are'nt the people who transfer here still paying taxes, buying groceries, houses, cars and spending money on entertainment? Does'nt this all support local busines and the economy? I'm not sure what your gripe is here? Are you a native of the cape fear region? Most people I know that live here are not. Would we really want large companies to build elsewhere and provide zero jobs to our area? That seems quite foolish during these times of uncertainty. I don't think it's wise to bite the hand that feeds you.
