Shouldn't a town be able to make its own decisions? But what happens to families who invested in a home never expecting a new industrial neighbor? It's presenting a new problem, and one mayor is pleading with the state for guidance. GUEST Teresa Woodard, WFAA Anchor/Senior Reporter

   Number 5: The $533 Million Texas Factory That "Made Nothing"

   The headline is stunning enough: “Fiasco in the Factory: Taxpayers Funded a $533 Million Artillery Plant That Made Nothing”. But the details in the story that follow are even more extraordinary: crashing robotic machines, equipment catching fire, and an artillery shell that was supposed to be smooth coming out shaped like a soft serve ice cream swirl. The Jasons are joined by the ProPublica reporter who broke the blockbuster story on a Mesquite, Texas plant where he says taxpayers got nothing for the big bucks they spent. And more reports are coming. Note: Y’all-itics reached out to General Dynamics to give them a chance to respond to the details of the ProPublica report and/or to join the podcast discussion and they declined comment and passed on an interview. We tried reaching out to Repkon with the same offers for their response and didn’t hear back.
