Isn't it typical for a legislator to say something like this:

On the other hand, State Rep.Virgil Fludd, D-Tyrone, says the tax break for Delta cost Georgia $24 million in 2010.

I mean, the gubbamint reaches into your wallet and takes out money... and when they DON'T do that.. it "costs" the taxpayers. I wonder (hypothetically of course) how much it would "cost" the taxpayers if DAL were to just up and leave for Minnesota...
