Katie Peralta Retweeted Avery Wilks

curious if @Harpootlian4SC or other lawmakers skeptical of the projected benefit have mentioned the jock tax (https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/article227793404.html )- salaries of highly paid employees who travel (players) are taxed in states where games are played (1/2 games are at home, aka in NC. None in SC)

NEW: In a strange twist to the @panthers tax break saga, Dem Sen. @Harpootlian4SC hired an economist who evaluated the deal and believes the Commerce Department's economic impact numbers are exaggerated. Harpootlian says he'll continue to block the bill https://www.thestate.com/news/politics-government/article229073114.html

A delegation of Panthers, including head coach Ron Rivera and VP of development Mark Hart, some players (and I guess Sir Purr) are at the S.C. capitol today to get introduced in the House and Senate as well as meet with SC governor McMaster.

Just read that article.  The Commerce Dept report factored in ALL employees moving to SC, which I think it nuts.  Sounds like they got a little over zealous with the numbers.  Still though, 1.1 billion is a pretty big impact to the State.

I believe the economic impact was grossly overstated. 

That is nothing unusual in this day and age of economic buffalo hunting. Kudos to the SC state senator who hired an independent economist to check all the figures. Research should always beat salesmanship.

Saw the Cat Cruiser heading south on 77 this morning!  Wonder if RR was riding shotgun?

    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
    • poo I doubt any Bucs fan would trade Baker for BY either lol.
