...midst of this scramble, some governments are setting up controls to keep the fight from getting completely out of hand. Connecticut, for example, has created "clawback" agreements that require corporations that fail to meet job targets to repay tax subsidies. Minnesota scaled back $620 million in aid to Northwest Airlines after it delivered fewer than 1,000 of 1,500 promised jobs. Washington has also grown concerned. Senator Jeff Bingaman, a New Mexico Democrat, wants the Commerce Department to decide whether companies that receive tax benefits should be required to file cost-benefit analyses and stand behind their job pledges...

He's lending it--with the option to repay himself later from any donor funds that remain unspent at the end of his campaign. If he gains the White House, he can also legally undertake postelection fund raising until he completely pays back his IOUs to himself. Though he says they haven't discussed it, Dal Col adds, "I'm sure Forbes would do it, pay himself back." In the meantime, by fronting...
