Cartoon: On our backs
Matt Davies
Industrial Development Agencies were a great concept initially, but that now seem to be used primarily just to keep ordinary retail operations from moving.
A savvy retail operator of course COULD threaten to leave town, get a sweet tax break from the IDA as an enticement, then stay put.
(Not that anyone would abuse something like that...)
