Ark Sunk

[Heywood]

Thanks to the state finally doing the right thing and opting not to fund this idiotic project, now none of my money will be lining his pocket.

If he wants to build this monument to ignorance and ego, he's more than welcome to do so, without using scarce tax dollars in a state that could not find a worse way to use them.

From what I understand the tax credits are in the form of a rebate. For instance suppose the ark park remits 1 million dollars in sales tax to the state, the state rebates back to the park $250,000 or some scheme like that. This isn't a case of the state handing out money to get the thing built. This is a case of the state effectively lowering its tax rate for this park so that the business plan becomes more tenable in the hope that it gets built. If this thing doesn't get built because the state decided not to issue these credits....the action actually costs the state sales tax revenue. Since sales tax revenue is your money(that seems to be your implied claim).....now you might end up with less of it.

If if were possible for Noah, even with the help of his sons, and all their perplexed neighbors to have built such a thing, then Ham and a few of his buddies should be able to build the ark in couple weekends with about ten grand. Oh, and they can round up real animals and house them just like Noah too. What's the problem? If Noah could do it with bronze age tools in a largely unforested part of the world than Ham should have even less trouble. . . . . Oh. . . wait. . . .

Noah didn't have to deal with OSHA requirements, environmental studies, building permits, labor unions, workers comp insurance, etc.
