Apple picked the wrong time to invest in NC. The citizens in NC can use the jobs, but are tired of politicians lining corporations' pockets with cash in the form of tax incentives, etc. So, it is going to get expensive to be stationed here. It isn't the new Florida; NC just had a few governors that thought they would be more popular if they threw away tax dollars on corporations that brought very few jobs in, because they knew the local papers and media would spin it in a favorable way.
