even disney knows how to screw the gov't

You really don't get how this works. Connecticut gives ESPN a tax break or a laon if I read it correctly and in the long term get 200 jobs (they have to pay state taxes and other taxes from them doing business). Its smart planning and is done very well in our area in Va. Its like me giving a tenant two months rent free if they sign a 3 or 5 year lease.
