"There is a new newspaper in town [Triad City Beat] and its offices are at the Nussbaum Center for Entrepreneurship, which means all of us here at the Rhino Times are paying to subsidize a competing newspaper.
The Greensboro City Council gave the Nussbaum Center $1.2 million last year. So my tax dollars and the tax dollars of everyone who works in the media [as well as others in the media who are also subsidized] is being taken from us by force and given to our competition.
Forgive me if I don’t think that’s a level playing field.
It’s why incentives are such a bad idea."

Yet John Hammer endorsed Zack Matheny.
Yet Hammer didn't opine on the Wyndham deal.
Yet Hammer's boss Roy Carroll has been subsidized in the millions in incentives by the same taxpayers.
Background;
Either the Rhino's John Hammer doesn't understand the GPAC financing, or he's not telling the truth about a deal that would enrich Roy Carroll

George:
Apparently there are good economic incentives based upon taxpayer dollars and bad economic incentives based upon taxpayer dollars . The good and the bad being based upon pure self-interest.
If one receives taxpayer dollars or supports taxpayer dollars being bestowed on X, then those are ostensibly “good” as they serve the receiver’s or supporter’s self-interest. Conversely, if someone else receives taxpayer dollars, say a competitor or one does not support taxpayer dollars bestowed on Y, then those are ostensibly “bad” as they do not serve the non-receiver’s or non-supporter’s self-interest.
Which leads to an observation: Economic incentives based on taxpayer dollars are not the altruistic beneficence as it is politically framed, merely pure self-interest.
