Preliminary OK for Ark tax breaks
Lexington Herald-Leader
Dec 21, 2010


FRANKFORT — A state tourism board gave preliminary approval Monday for a
religious theme park to apply for up to $37 million in state tax incentives.

The six-member board voted unanimously to give preliminary approval to
the Ark Encounter park in Grant County.

The centerpiece of the Ark Encounter park will be a 500- by-75-foot
wooden ark, billed as a replica of the biblical Noah's Ark. The proposed
project has garnered national and international attention, with critics
questioning whether granting state tax incentives to the project would
violate laws separating church and state.

Gov. Steve Beshear has said the law does not allow the state to
discriminate against a for-profit business because of its subject
matter. But some groups concerned about the separation of church and
state have said they might sue the state if the incentives are granted.

They'd damn well better sue the state. Tax incentives for a religious
theme park?

Oh, I didn't mark this OT because it concerns a boat, albeit a mythical one.

"... a 500- by-75-foot wooden ark, billed as a replica of the biblical
Noah's Ark..."

Yeah, right, of course it is. What it is is another crock of religious
crap.

Because he was afraid we wouldn't read it. Still WAFA. On Christmas Eve yet!

I don't see a problem. I wonder why he does.

Churches always get tax breaks, even in Maryland.

Yes they do, and they shouldn't, and an amusement park is not a church.

I am not sure what you are upset about
Churches get tax breaks and businesses that create jobs get tax
breaks.

Would they give Sea World the same tax break?

That is the question you have to ask.

Because tax breaks for churches support religion. That is the answer you
have to get.

Only an asshole like you would attack half of a newsgroup with your
intolerant, knuckledragging on Christmas Eve.. What a hater..

Merry Christmas Harry. May the spirit of the Lord haunt you till the day
you meet him




You mean, you *believe* a guy named Noah built an ark that size and
stuffed it with a pair of every animal on the earth and all the food and
water that would require for 40 days?

You believe that?

Well, your check is in the mail...
