7.11.19:Broomfield City Councilman Mike Shelton Sound Economic Development

Welcome to the Americhicks podcast. Kim Monson is your host - Agree or disagree, let's have a conversation! Public officials say tax rebates and other incentives are worth the cost because of the resulting increase in jobs, commerce, and tax revenue. But it could also bring new competition to existing businesses–a competition that our very own government uses to pick winners and losers. Deals like this mean small mom-and-pop shops continue to carry the full tax burden while the big rich new guy gets a break. Is this fair? Broomfield City Councilman Mike Shelton joins Kim for an important discussion on this subject.
