Random quotes from linked The Intelligencer / Wheeling News-Register article: I do favor the plant as originally proposed as a private development. I do not favor county ownership, Miller said. Government agencies dont pay property tax - and thats the gimmick that led to this unfair tax scheme for select businesses. However, John Deskins, director of the Bureau of Business and Economic Research at West Virginia University, said such programs can create a slippery slope in making it difficult for governments to effectively collect taxes. Suppose we offer a tax incentive to attract Company X.
