SB 627 by Menéndez: Corporate Welfare
PRO-TAXPAYER POSITION
Oppose
Senate Journal Page: 1188
SB 627 seeks to allow for the subsidization of convention center projects in certain cities. Corporate welfare is opposed to the idea of free market enterprise and the philosophy should be abandoned and replaced with instead with lowering regulation and taxes. The government picking winners and losers through “incentives” only hurt free enterprise and stifles competition. For this reason, TFR opposes SB 627.
