  "account": "Intel, the chipmaker, continues to receive tax breaks from key states even after setting up operations and laying off thousands of workers in those regions, according to a policy organization. Good Jobs First, a non-profit group that promotes accountability in economic development, claims that Intel's property tax abatements have cost local communities over $1.2 billion in lost revenue since 2015, with the majority of the shortfall impacting schools funded by those governments. In Oregon, schools lost $891 million in revenue from 2017 to 2025, while Intel paid $552.4 million in fees, less than a third of the tax break value. In New Mexico, Intel received $99.6 million in property tax exemptions, and Rio Rancho's public schools lost $43.4 million over the same period, paying $41.6 million in payments in lieu of taxes. Despite these subsidies, Intel received billions under the CHIPS Act funding, but the non-profit questions the necessity of continued tax breaks, given the company's history of layoffs and restructuring efforts.",
