Additionally a breakdown on what the cost per job was and how much was lost by existing competing businesses in profits and lost tax revenues by the existing business. I am generally against these incentives as they warp the free market. If a company can not make a profit w/o the incentives, what is the justification in thinking the company will be viable when the incentives disappear. The government should not be picking winners and losers with tax monies to for profit companies. If BASS PRO would not locate here with out the kick backs, maybe they are not viable with ACADEMY essentially providing the same thing without the tax payer juice.
