State joins fight over use of tax money for business incentives
Winston-Salem Forsyth County officials plan to appeal a judge ruling that using public funds to lure or retain businesses is unconstitutional. Superior Court Judge Julius Rousseau barred further use of tax dollars for private development but did not recover $13 million already disbursed. Attorney General Easley argued the decision harms city and county efforts to attract jobs, while opponents contended incentives are a legitimate Civil public use. The ruling came amid Goodyear’s $14 million Statesville factory project and broader concern that incentives shift competition to different locales.
