The inflated numbers tie directly to the amount of money that Ham feels he's due. The $18.25 million in tax breaks PLUS the $11 million interstate interchange that would have to be footed by the state are directly related to the amount of money that the "Ark Encounter" would generate for the community.
So if the state is to shell out $11 mil up front and $18.25 mil in tax incentives only to get about $4.9 mil in net fiscal impact over ten years, I think that's relevant.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
