Tax Credits = More Jobs?
A recent WRAL-TV investigation discovered that business tax credits might not be creating the jobs they’re supposed to. The investigation revealed several instances where companies in the state qualified for tax credits but reduced their workforce. Jason Jolley, a business professor and senior researcher at UNC-Chapel Hill, said, “I would say the tax credit programs have failed.” SEANC couldn’t agree more.
State Pension Delivers Returns
In the midst of tough economic times, the state pension fund is a bright spot. In a News & Observer story, the state treasurer’s office reported that the fund delivered an 18 percent return for the fiscal year and its total assets rose to $74.9 billion.
