Sticks of Fire: a Tampa blog

I’m sure you’ve already heard:  Capital One is eliminating 1100 jobs from their call center here in Tampa.   Just after receiving the last (we can really only hope it’s the last) of $3.85 million in tax breaks for creating said jobs.  I tend to support limited tax breaks for companies to move here, but there obviously needs to be some sort of minimum time-frame and impact for it to work.  It didn’t work this time.  Blogwood compares this move to welfare daddies - they eat up tax money, then leave the kids hungry.  I agree with SOS and Hotwax - If you have a Capital One credit card, call them (1-800-955-7070) and cancel it.  I’m sure there will be a new credit card offer in your mailbox today.
