The following is the text of a radio advertisement first broadcast by AMP
on October 2, 1998:
Pennsylvania has committed more than 200 million dollars to bring a ship
builder to Philadelphia and has made 70 million in tax dollars available
for emerging companies.
More than 500 million tax dollars are spent each year to attract jobs.
The price of jobs is high.
But, what if I told you that before the legislature right now is a proposal
that would help keep thousands of jobs in Pennsylvania and would cost
taxpayers NOTHING.
That's right -- NOTHING. Not one tax dollar.
AMP Incorporated, one of the largest private employers in Central
Pennsylvania, is simply asking the legislature for a level playing field
and for time to fight off a hostile corporate takeover.
We know what the state legislature spends to bring jobs to Pennsylvania,
but what should they do to keep jobs here?
They should vote for legislation to keep AMP in Pennsylvania.
