Tax Incentives: Do they work? Supporters of Tax Incentives see them as necessary to attract businesses, with their costs partially or fully offset bu the additional tax revenues from the increased economic activity associated with the new businesses. Opponents see them as government spending of scare tax dollars on actions that would have taken place even without the tax breaks. At this year's New Jersey League of Municipalities, Mayor Ras J. Baraka was joined by multiple advocates and opponents of Tax Incentives who looked at both sides of the argument with a particular focus on how the incentives es offered the State of New Jersey and several NJ municipalities contribute to community growth and decline. Captured here is this panel discussion. Moderated by Mayor Ras J. Baraka and joined by: ? Peter Chen - Senior Policy Analyst New Jersey Policy Perspective ? Maura Collinsgru - Director of Policy and Advocacy New Jersey Citizen Action (NJCA) ? Jeff Monge - Managing Partner Monge Capital Advisors ? Tim Sullivan - Chief Executive Officer New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) ? Bisola Taiwo - Chief Development Officer Newark Housing Authority
