Call it the best of both worlds. ... Boeing wants to get $6 million from Oklahoma City for bringing about 900 jobs from Washington to the city, the Oklahoman reports.

At the same time, Boeing will continue collecting tax breaks worth millions from Washington. Those tax incentives will be unaffected by the aerospace giants decision to move work out of state.

The aerospace giant first announced the job moves last fall. In all, the company plans to move about 2,000 jobs out of the state mostly in the next three years.

Boeing wants to use the money from Oklahoma City to help pay for a new $80 million, 290,000-square-foot facility at its current plant there, according to the Oklahoman.

1. they really make me sick

as it is they pay no federal taxes and continue to be subsidized by state revenue. The politicians do this so the one day new story is that the jobs will stay - even though they have been played over and over.
