Moore on Goodyear alternative

Richard Moore supports the Goodyear compromise bill.

In response to a question from Dome, the state treasurer and Democratic gubernatorial candidate said the second bill was better than the original incentives vetoed by Gov. Mike Easley.

He said it had better protection of jobs, health insurance benefits and wages, but he still had concerns about incentives in general.

"I am concerned that incentive packages often depend upon the political influence of a single company or legislative delegation and benefit large out-of-state companies over local businesses," he said.

He called on Congress to take steps to limit or end incentives competition between states.

Previously: Republican candidates Bill Graham, Fred Smith and Bob Orr opposed the alternative bill. Democratic candidate Beverly Perdue says the state needs to clarify its policy.
