Donald Trump and Mike Pence have set a dangerous precedent by using Indiana taxpayer dollars to pay a company not to move some of its manufacturing jobs out of the United States.
This will create an environment in which any company can use the threat of moving jobs outside of the country to extort the American taxpayer.
In a shrewd move, by not giving up his position as governor after being elected vice president, Mike Pence is in a position to use Indiana tax dollars to make this deal for Donald Trump before he takes office. After the inauguration in January, Trump will be trying to use our federal tax dollars for these deals.
