ummm, boy i hate being the spoil sport again for my
progressive pals. But I just hate the abuse of tax dollars for "bailing
out" businesses.
I LOVE Ruminator Books. And I LOVE Grand
Ave. I'm just not sure this use of taxpayer's dollars is
appropriate.
Is there any redevelopment going on? Will it
add more jobs to the city? Is there any pollution clean up? Are we
getting rid of a blighted area? How about are we helping a minority
business owner set up shop or expand his or her business?
I guess if you justify it by "they do it so we
should be able to" then it makes it alright. Right?
You have to read the law and see if it is a proper
use of corporate subsidy. Just because others abuse the law doesn't mean
you should. It could very well be a good, acceptable use for
subsidy. I don't know all the specifics. But on the first glimpse,
there is nothing there that should be subsidized by government.
