2009 House Bill 5346: Authorize "aerotropolis" corporate tax breaks and subsidies (House Roll Call 613)
Passed 87 to 21 in the House on December 9, 2009, to create a new type of targeted tax break and subsidy authorizing entity called “next Michigan development corporations,” which would empower certain government officials and appointees to grant select businesses the extensive tax breaks and exemptions of “renaissance zones,” in addition to targeted tax breaks authorized by other “economic development” programs. The bill would allow the recipient of a tax break who does not have any tax liability to "sell" the credit to another taxpayer who does owe taxes, in effect making it a subsidy.

Is this what is meant by "equity" for all? We are all equal - just some of us are more equal than others? Our State government can faction and fraction off tax breaks for the chosen?
