Chicago wants to give over $1 billion in taxes from workers at Amazon's new headquarters back to Amazon
· *Chicago, Illinois wants Amazon to build its second headquarters in the city.*· *The city's official bid states that Amazon would be able to keep $1.32 billion of the personal income taxes paid by its workers annually.*
· *Critics of the proposal say that Amazon would profit from tax money that would normally go toward investment in civic services and infrastructure, like schools and roads.*
--------------------
In the battle over Amazon's second headquarters, some North American cities are going to extreme lengths to make their bids more attractive to the company.
Amazon announced last month that it received 238 proposals for its 50,000-employee, $5 billion HQ2. The tech giant has said that it will select a city in early 2018.
One of the more aggressive bids comes from Chicago, Illinois — a city that is prepared to let Amazon keep $1.32 billion of the personal income taxes paid by its workers annually. According to The Chicago Reader, employees would still pay the full taxes; but instead of Illinois receiving the money to use for civic infrastructure, Amazon would get to pocket it.
The result is that Amazon workers would essentially pay taxes to their own company. The practice is known as personal income-tax diversion, according to a 2012 report from Good Jobs First (GJF), a research organization critical of many corporate subsidies. It's unclear how Amazon would spend the funds if it chooses to build HQ2 in Chicago.
According to GJF, a growing number of states are subsidizing large companies, including Walmart, Google, Target, Sears, and Boeing. In 2012, the organization identified 22 personal income-tax incentive programs in 16 states that involve the diversion of about $684 million in revenue each year. Six of these programs have launched since 2009. In return, local governments are promised an increase in jobs and economic prosperity.
The Illinois program, called the Economic Development for a Growing Economy (EDGE) Tax Credit, grants 100% of employee taxes to participating companies for up to 10 years. Indiana, Mississippi, and Missouri have similar programs.
Since EDGE was created in 2001, Illinois has given over $1.4 billion in tax money to companies — which would make the Amazon HQ2 deal unprecedented in value. In 2016, the state approved 888 of the 1,144 EDGE applications it received. Amazon got $400 million in EDGE credits, which will go toward expanding its fulfillment centers and hiring thousands of employees in the Illinois towns of Aurora, Joliet, and Monee.
In September, Illinois voted to extend EDGE through 2022. According to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, the program is "intended to help Illinois compete with other states for the location of job creation" projects. It could certainly come in handy for the HQ2 competition.

Benetech, Inc. Conveyor System Maintenance Provides Higher Performance With Less Maintaining
As a leader in proactive problem prevention for bulk material handlers, Benetech, Inc. is focusing further on conveyor maintenance solutions.
AURORA, Ill. (PRWEB) November 29, 2017
As a leader in proactive problem prevention for bulk material handlers, Benetech, Inc. is focusing further on conveyor maintenance solutions.
Without proper inspection and maintenance, a conveyor system with small problems can develop much bigger ones, leading to lost production and revenue. Curative repair costs also can double or even triple the investment in efficient preventive measures.
Benetech’s state-of-the-art conveyor maintenance and repair include audits/inspections, adjustments, installation of equipment and replacement of parts. Working with Benetech to identify potential setbacks early and fix them results in more-steady production with less spillage, pluggage and carryback; less wear and airborne dust; improved material flow; and greater regulatory compliance for avoiding citations and fees. It helps bulk material handlers prevent fire and explosion hazards as well.
Benetech conveyor belt maintenance further helps extend maintenance intervals while enhancing production. With Benetech, bulk material handlers can upgrade older, labor-intensive equipment and systems to advanced solutions such as:· engineered transfer systems that control material flow and lessen impact against belts, chute walls, stringers and idlers
· inspection doors that allow personnel to safely and easily access all areas to ensure proper conditions and functioning
· material flow enhancers that restrict build-up and pluggage
· proper impact beds and trackers that keep the conveyor belt centered and protected
· belt cleaners that prevent spillage and carryback.
“Our upgrades boost bulk material handlers’ capabilities and decrease the need for frequent conveyor inspections and maintenance,” said Benetech Vice President Paul Moran. “Our components, technologies and processes help ensure companies move more material for longer periods with fewer delays through a safer, fully operative system. This supports premium service to their customers.”
Benetech provides complete, performance-based solutions for dust mitigation and bulk material–handling systems. Its products, services and technologies reduce dust, prevent spillage, improve material flow and reinforce compliance. A partner in planning, engineering and operating dust-control and material-handling systems, Benetech helps companies assess challenges, establish priorities and achieve the results they require.
