Every time I see defined language in a bill for "tax exemptions" classifying exemptions that seems to pin-point a particular development the bells and whistles go off. It looks as if a particular constituent and a particular representative such as Rep. Woodrow Stanley (D) are looking to garner special favors to the detriment of all others. The following language tells me that the tax exemption only applies and favors only one development/person/s. Wouldn't it be great if we could all kiss Rep. Woodrow's ring and all get a "tax exemption?" Then again -- these "special" tax exemptions are wrong -- because they are not representative of equity and equality.
