Did IBM Ship New York Jobs Overseas?



NEW YORK (WCBS 880)  -- IBM getting sweetheart deals from the state? State Assemblyman Greg Ball says yes.

Ball, who's running for congress, claims IBM took millions of dollars from the state to keep jobs here - but then sent those jobs overseas.

"IBM has a large, comprehensive, long-term view on off-shoring tens of thousands of jobs to india."

Ball's now calling for a state investigation, "We're a dog with a bone. we're gonna fight for these jobs. We're gonna fight for these taxpayers dollars. And the people deserve answers."

Meanwhile, IBM officials tell WCBS reporter Catherine Cioffi that they are committed to New York and keeping and creating jobs here.
