Incentives under fire

Yesterday’s announcement that the state is providing “incentives” in the form of tax credits to the Philadelphia Sixers to build a practice facility in Camden, which I criticized in a post late in the day, has both sides of the political spectrum up in arms, as Mark J. Magyar notes in his piece today at NJ Spotlight. It is as good an overview of the issue as you will find, timed to both the Camden deal and a report from the liberal interest group New Jersey Policy Perspective. (Disclosure: I do a lot of reporting for NJ Spotlight and should have a piece on immigration up this week.)
