Bombs Away, Bombardier

Bombardier will not be coming to Kansas City. It seems like the City and State did a good job of putting an attractive package together, but didn't make the mistake of giving away the farm.

It's sad not to get the plant, but I'm glad we didn't try to win the deal with outrageous, unsustainable giveaways. Perhaps we're learning . . .

Montreal's built-in advantage with a Canadian company could not be overcome with any semblance of financial discipline on the part of our state and local governments.
