Friday's Finds

It looks like the City of Columbus has made JPMorgan Chase an offer they might not be able to refuse.
Dispatch:
With three tax-incentive packages in hand totaling an estimated $20.5 million, it appears likely that JPMorgan Chase will soon bring 1,150 new jobs to central Ohio.

"Our expectation in passing the incentive is Chase will bring those additional jobs to Columbus," said Michael Stevens, deputy director of the Columbus Department of Development.

This week, the Columbus City Council approved a $6.2 million tax-incentive package that requires Chase to add 1,000 jobs at its Polaris and Easton facilities, while the Westerville City Council approved a $225,000 tax-incentive package for the creation of 150 jobs.....

If you want to seek a job with JPMorgan Chase, it might be worth it to periodically check the JPMorgan Chase Career Page for job openings.

* Democratic Rep. Steve Boccieri has proposed legislation, according to the Dayton Daily News:

...Marlene Gano fought to keep the flag she put in her window to honor her son's service in the military. Her condo board in the Canton suburb of Perry Township first said the flag violated condo rules and would have to be removed, but it later backed down.

Under the proposal from Democratic U.S. Rep. John Boccieri (boh-CHAYR'-ee), condo associations, co-ops and residential management associations could not keep residents from displaying a Blue Star or Gold Star flag.....

Personally, I think that some of these condo associations and management companies have their priorities in the wrong place. How can anyone deny the display of a Blue Star or Gold Star flag? For more information, visit Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc. and American Gold Star Mothers, Inc.
