Greg LeRoy's public-interest group, called Good Jobs First, is a treasure trove of well-documented studies, case histories, articles, court cases, and other material on all aspects of the corporate handout game. Also, GJF has a checklist of action items for stopping the scam, ranging from "clawbacks" (requiring corporations getting subsidies to pay them back if they don't deliver good jobs at good wages) to requiring full disclosure and official votes on any giveaway. In addition, GJF offers advice to local groups battling a particular giveaway or wanting to impose general policies to protect the public interest from such ripoffs of our tax funds.
