Commerce Secretary Charlie Way backs an $18 million incentive fund used for economic development amid GOP concerns. State Rep. Annette Young pushes moving oversight from the Coordinating Council for Economic Development to the Transportation Department, citing grants like 8.1 million for Lucent fiber optics land, 655 million for golf resorts, USC training programs, and 2.5 million in loans not repaid.
