Tax incentives: what candidates said
The NAACP sent every candidate on your ballot the same questions, whatever office they are running for. The NAACP wrote the options, so each one appears below once, with everyone who chose it. Candidates who wrote their own answer instead are shown in their own words, exactly as submitted.
Tax incentives
How should tax abatements or incentives for data centers be handled?
- Disclosed in full and approved by public vote before any agreement.
- Negotiated by staff, then disclosed once finalized.
- Negotiated confidentially to stay competitive with other jurisdictions.
Answered in their own words
Incentives are set in state law. I would keep them, but require each company to report jobs and investment every year and repay the abatement if it falls short.
