Except for the job loss, this is hysterical. Florida is not a high-wage

Genmar exits Florida, citing economic conditions

snip..
Genmar, with about 4,000 employees and eight manufacturing centers,
builds 14 brands of recreational boats. These include Carver, Champion,
Four Winns, Glastron, Hydra-Sports, Larson, Marquis, Ranger, Scarab,
Seaswirl, Stratos, Triumph, Wellcraft and Windsor Craft.


Anybody know what, "The high cost of doing business in Florida ......" is
a
euphemism for?


Not me. It sure isn't labor costs.


Up here it would mean the province didn't cave in to demands for lower
corporate taxes and/or gov't grants.
