The Milford Township Board approved a proposal last night giving a tax abatement to GM for the construction of a new data center, but not without contention. GM is asking for a 12-year, 50 percent tax cut for the $258 million project, which would construct a 93,000-square-foot information technology facility that would employ up to 20 people. The automaker wants to use that facility and one like it in Warren to house all of its data needs, allowing it to consolidate some 20 other facilities across the world.

But Letta has not said that the tax will be abolished completely. "I'm confident it will be abolished and the money (from 2012) returned," Berlusconi said ahead of the second confidence vote Letta's government needs to pass, this time in the Senate, to take over the reins of power after two months of post-election deadlock.
