Romney Works For Resurgence of Press Releases

In office for less than one-year, Willard Mitt’s vaunted media machine appears to be cutting corners. A casual glance at Team Reform’s recent press releases will show that during one ten-day period, the stout, Reese Witherspoon-wannabe dye-job aide to Romney’s loathsome $150,000-a-year spokesman “wrote” and issued virtually the same press release touting what is purportedly Willard Mitt’s favorite subject.

Compare and contrast the following releases. The October 20 Worcester release is presented in bold, while the October 30 Andover release is in plain font:

ROMNEY WORKS FOR RESURGENCE OF MASSACHUSETTS ECONOMY
Pushes proposal to provide tax rebates to companies that create manufacturing jobs

WORCESTER – Bringing his campaign to create more jobs to Central Massachusetts, Governor Mitt Romney today highlighted his proposal to provide tax rebates to companies that create new manufacturing jobs in the biotechnology, life sciences and medical device industries.

ANDOVER – Bringing the Romney/Healey administration’s campaign to create more jobs to the Merrimack Valley, Governor Mitt Romney today highlighted a proposal to provide tax rebates to companies that create new manufacturing jobs in the biotechnology, life sciences and medical device industries.

“We want to encourage companies that create and develop their ideas in our Commonwealth to stay and manufacture their products here,” Romney said after touring the Massachusetts Biomedical Initiatives Incubator Park.

“We want companies that develop their products in Massachusetts to manufacture them in Massachusetts,” Romney said, after a tour of Wyeth BioPharma, one of the largest biopharmaceutical operations in Massachusetts.

He added, “My proposal, which is part of the jobs bill I filed, will help businesses expand and give them incentives to stay right here in Massachusetts as they move from the lab to the factory floor.”

He added, “My plan, which is part of the economic development bill I filed, will help businesses grow and give them incentives to stay in our Commonwealth as they move from the lab to the factory floor. My administration is committed to helping companies like Wyeth reach their full potential.”

Romney’s economic development bill provides companies in the biotechnology, life sciences and medical device industries with a tax rebate for each new manufacturing job. Romney’s proposal will provide eligible companies with 50 percent of the state income tax they pay for 10 or more new employees.

Romney noted that many R&D firms are attracted to the Bay State for our dense concentration of research universities and skilled workforce. But once they have a product developed, they move out of state or the country to manufacture it because costs are lower.

“I applaud the Governor’s support of the biotech industry and the good jobs that our companies in Worcester are creating everyday,” said Kevin O’Sullivan, President and CEO of the Massachusetts Biomedical Initiatives, a business development venture that assists start-up biomedical and biotech companies. “The tax rebate will help convince many of the companies that get their start here at the incubator to stay and manufacture their products in Massachusetts.”

“We applaud Governor Romney for his focus on job creation and reducing barriers for business – especially for biotechnology companies that face such high risk in getting our products to market and into the hands of patients who need them,” said Chris Perley, Managing Director of Wyeth BioPharma in Andover. “The tax rebate that Governor Romney has proposed in his ‘Jobs First’ bill is exactly the type of incentive that global companies like Wyeth need in order to focus and maintain jobs in Massachusetts.”

Romney urged the Legislature to take action on a job creation bill quickly so that companies can begin creating more jobs with the use of the tax rebate and other incentives to help get the Bay State economy going again.

Zoiks. Yawn. And pass the No-Doz.

Keep in mind that Romney claims to actually care about the economy. Imagine how much work Team Reform is putting in on issues they DON’T care about!
