Clay residents split on Micron getting $2 billion break on sales, property taxes

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Clay residents were split tonight on whether Micron Technology should be granted a $2 billion break on sales and property taxes.

Some argued that Micron is already getting more than $22 billion in taxpayer subsidies and doesn’t need more. Others said that the sales and property tax breaks were a small price to pay for the tens of thousands of jobs promised by Micron’s planned chipmaking complex in Clay.
