Pennsylvania town gets $48M tax breaks to attract musicians, sparking debate on corporate welfare.
Pennsylvania's Rock Lititz has received $48 million in state tax breaks through the Entertainment Economic Enhancement Program (EEEP), aimed at attracting musicians for rehearsals and performances.
The program, introduced in 2016, has seen tax credits sold to businesses like insurance companies and banks, offsetting their state taxes.
Critics argue the program is corporate welfare, while supporters note it brings investment and jobs.
The Independent Fiscal Office recommends making the tax credit refundable to boost economic impact.
