We WON! We WON! Pennsylvania won the Shell Cracker project beating Ohio and West Virginia and all we had to do was destroy our children's future.
Simple math. Our children gave up 1.7 billion to the cracker plant over 25 years. Break that down over 25 years that's 68 million per year. (Not sure who did the math for the story) There is a claim that it will create 500 jobs. Let's assume, and it is a huge assume that 500 jobs will be created. We the taxpayer will be paying $136,000 per job for 25 years. HOW DO I GET THAT GIG??????
