Gubernatorial Candidates Divided On Tax Breaks

{Frankfort, Ky}...Gubernatorial candidates are divided on the issue of providing tax breaks to companies that want to expand in Kentucky. Governor Beshear says tax incentives have proven important in keeping Kentucky competitive with other states to recruit and keep jobs during a time of economic upheaval. Republican challenger David Williams calls economic incentives a broken model. Independent Gatewood Galbraith says states should not be competing to see who can give away the most money to attract jobs.
