Qimonda qestions
Qimonda was the poster child of the kind of companies and the kind of jobs Vermont wanted. Just a few months ago, Gov. Jim Douglas put them up on that pedestal. These days, those jobs and the Q-with-no-u company are being warmly embraced in North Carolina. Every state has a pedestal for those who pay well. The company employed 125 in Vermont. Some 50 of them will apparently be offered transfers to North Carolina. (Here's a tip to those who take the transfer: It may seem superfluous, but take your snow shovel. My friend Jeff was pretty proud of being the only one in his neighborhood to have one when a rare snowstorm hit after he made the move.) Just a few months ago, Qimonda stood ready to receive $210,000 in state incentives to expand here in Chittenden County. Which raises these questions: - Was there anything else the state should have done to try to keep Qimonda here? - Or does a company's lack of regard for such things indicate that $210,000 would have been a waste of money? - Is there any hope of replacing salaries in the $80,000 range? - Terri Hallenbeck
