Spamming the boards under multiple names is not clever, it's a pathetic attempt to pad your own ego...which needs major padding.
I proudly boycott ALL corporate chains and will continue to do so, as every little bit helps to starve the beast.

So you have your own oil well and refine all of your own gasoline for the car you built yourself in the garage of the house you built from trees on your property using tools you made yourself from ore you dug up....?

Thank you. That explains a lot. I think I know a few like her, but I hate to admit it. I could care what race her children are, but it does explain the constant attitude.

And with a screen name showing a Dublin IP address you owe her kids a top notch public school education and tuition at an Ivy League school.

It is disheartening to know that our Governor continues to fund corporate interests rather than the interests of working families of our great state. We need more focus on creating opportunities than moving a headquarters 20 miles just so that the CEO doesn't have a long commute! I applaud ProgressOhio for standing up for those who don't want to "be hit one more time" with corporate greed.

C'mon, Bob, support the hard working people of Wisconsin, not the fat cats trying to get a tax break!

Offering money for these types of situations? What do you think the stimulus was all about?

Stimulus funds are in the form of cash that has been funnelled to different entities already. Tax breaks such as the one for Bob Evans are not incurred until future years. You tell me if you think the government is setting aside stimulus funds to fill these tax wholes in future years. I don't think so.

Also, I don't think stimulus funds were meant to be spent for interstate purposes...

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad Bob Evans is staying, but do you really think they were moving to Texas? Not a chance.

WHY did they protest at a restaurant on Olentangy RR, when the actual headquarters that's moving is located in the South End - could it be they were AFRAID to go to the South End with their protest - maybe the same reason the HQ wants to move out of that area. Don't private companies have a right to make their own decisions, without no-nothings sticking their noses in the company's business? I thought this was America. As for taxpayer money being spent by the state, the city of Columbus offered BE MORE taxpayer money than the state, so what's the problem?

Closer to Union thug headquarters.

It was the closest Bob Evans to the SEIU headquarters.

"Blame Bush for everything, then blame Kasich for everything..." My grandparents were Democrats, and I don't remember them or any of their friends constantly acting out and bullying Republicans every time they didn't get their own way...so very childish....If Democrats would put their energy to better use instead of name-calling and bullying, they could help the American people more than the crybaby way they act now...I hope they read this and think about it...You are an embarrassment!!
