Why do people get government grants to create hobby businesses like distilleries to make boutique liquors ?
A second distillery planned for Jefferson County is being started by a former executive at Venus Swimwear.
He says a grant funded Clayton distillery is a threat...Whatever happened to the democracy of the market place ?

Becausethe Alphabet-agencies is the supplier of these GRANTS or FREE Money, No different than the Local Sheriff's Dept getting Homeland Security GRANTS for various dubious pieces of Equipment. Isnt Hammond a "DRY" Town anyway??????????????????????
Mayor my issue is I am long standing business. A start up comes in a direct competitor and gets low loan rates and sometime free grants. Then add in a sweet pilot and I have to compete with that??? they local is pie is only so big. How many pizza shops, bar or chain hotels do you need to support with this type of give away? That is not free market place... Let them pay these costs like I do and compete is free market place.
So one business has an advantage in the sleaze and goverment corruption category. That's not exactly a new developement in this part of the world. Some people have an in, some don't. Its one of the reasons most of us has such respect for government and our political leaders.
