I have read through this article twice and it seems to say the opposite of the title given it.
The audit showed up questions of conflict of interest and could not show that the expense is paying off. The responses from the UDA and LSI are not convincing either.
These days legislators are saying that they want to cut waste and require evidence that our investments of public funds are boosting the economy. But as tax payers, we are concerned that the tax breaks for, or in this case outright funding to, corporate entities are just boosting the campaign funds of the politicians who allow them.
The difference between what the headline says and what the article says is a big deal.
