Opportunities For Working Families: A Leadership Forum for State Lawmakers: June 27-29, 2011

Session Description 

States spend billions of dollars annually on tax incentives for economic development by offering businesses credits, exemptions and deductions to businesses to locate, hire, expand and invest within their borders.
