To the tune of 18 million- and a victory for taxpayers.
www.chron.com/news/us/article/Kentucky-No-tax-breaks-for-Noah-s-Ark-project-5948345.php
Kentucky has withdrawn its offer of tax breaks for a religious-themed park that would feature a 500-foot-long wooden ark because its organizers plan to screen park employees based on religion. The planned Ark Encounter park has evolved from a tourism attraction into an outreach for the Christian ministry that is building it, state Tourism Secretary Bob Stewart said in a letter to the group's lawyer on Wednesday. "Certainly, Ark Encounter has every right to change the nature of the project from a tourism attraction to a ministry," Stewart wrote in the letter. "However, state tourism tax incentives cannot be used to fund religious indoctrination or otherwise be used to advance religion."
So I guess Ham and his bunch are going to discriminate against other Christians as well and hire only people that are going to promote his particular brand of crazy. I wonder just how rich he is getting off of all this.
