Nebraska lawmakers pressed Friday for data on whether tax incentives for business investment and job creation actually work and justify their cost. State Tax Commissioner Doug Ewald noted that 48 percent of applicants fail to qualify and a quarter of credits expire unused, while some nonqualifiers still create jobs.
