My bone is that the IDAs were not just created for Industrial development alone. They were created to foster economic development as it states on that state site.
I perfectly understand each member voting as they feel is in the best interest of the taxpayers. Their vote should be how in their mind they think is the right economic development to provide tax breaks.
An example - Premier Dog Sports Center is not an industrial development project but it brings in people from all over for their weekend dog trial events. They're using our restaurants and shops etc.
Just my humble opinion
