It’s an ill wind that blows no corporation any good. In fact, in Tompkins County; every wind is used to fill their sails . . . and coffers. Even though Cargill’s salt mine continued to mine and sell road salt throughout the Pandemic, and the County’s new budget included significant property tax increases and budgetary cuts; the County Legislators continued to implement Cargill’s $640,000 tax abatement plan.
COVID may have meant cutting back on basic services in the county; but friends don’t let friends cut back on corporate profits.
