CROFTON—The fourth consecutive curtailment at the Paper Excellence paper mill in Crofton will keep more than 100 workers laid off and the community left wondering why they have nothing to show for $19 million in public funding from two levels of government.The new curtailment will reportedly extend to the end of February 2024.
I’ve seen this argument made before in economics classes. Just give the workers a long term payout and close the facility. It would be better for the workers and save the tax payers millions every time.
