Business Incentives and Transparency
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2012-03-01/business-incentives-and-transparency
States and local jurisdictions across our region use a variety of tax incentives and subsidies to attract businesses and create jobs. But information about those enticements-- how much they're worth, and whether they actually translate into increased employment and economic activity-- is often unavailable to the public. We examine new initiatives to cast light on public incentives and subsidies.
