Government has not offered tax incentives for investment, as it has in a dozen foreign markets. Banks have redlined it. Industries have moved out, they’ve redlined it.

Let priests secretly despair of faith: their compassion will be true."― Leonard Cohen "One of the things I like enormously about Bob Weinstein is that that he’s the only studio head I have ever known who will change his mind and say he was wrong."― Dean Koontz "I don’t write for any group. I write to bring about a change in consciousness."― Jeanette Winterson
