Companies failed to create jobs after receiving tax-payer funded grants

“A three-month investigation by The Tampa Tribune shows at least four in every 10 companies that receive grants from the state’s jobs incentive fund have failed to meet their obligations — some slightly, others by wide margins.”

“However, Enterprise Florida, the state’s chief economic development agency, paints a rosier picture, concluding Florida is exceeding its job-creation goals. But the Tribune also discovered that the agency’s report didn’t count any of its failures.”
