New OrteW7tT)l 8168 Area Cities La Business Tax Poll Continued from Page 1 Continued from Page 1 cific criticisms about the economic development incentive programs public support for the tax breaks remains hi gh near 60 percent Those findings come as state law makers consider shrinking Louisiana's tax breaks whose costs have grown dramatically in recent years even as the state faced contin uing budget troubles With a $16 billion budget gap to close for next year legislators are questioning if the state's been too generous with its economic develop ment incentives Several tax break changes are under consideration for the upcoming legislative session that beg ns April 13 "If they want to curb these pro grams are going to have to really work to make the case to the public As of now most of the public sees these incentives as good for the state" Michael Henderson the lab's research director said in a state ment Gov Bobby Jindal is proposing to lessen $500 million in spending on refundable tax credits in which the state paj out more than the taxes a person or business owes In such instances the state simply writes a check to cover the cost of the rest of the tax break Jindal has described those types of subsidies as welfare" and wants to redirect the money to health care services and public col leges Business organizations are opposed to the largest pieces of the tax break scale back proposal The GOP governor's argument appears to have more traction with members of the opposite party LSUs poll shows both Republicans and Democrats support tax breaks for companies but Democrats' backing of direct pay ments to business falls to 48 per cent compared to 58 percent among Republicans Pollsters surveyed 980 adults by phone from Jan 12 to eb 13 including both landlines and cell phones The overall survejs margin of error was plus or minus 31 per centage points used to describe the stan dards 39 percent of those polled supported the edu cation benchmarks But 67 percent sup ported using reading and math standards that are the same across states when the Common Core label was dropped The biggest shift involves Republicans: 71 percent of those sur supported com mon standards but 22 percent said they sup port Common Core A majority of Democrats 57 percent back the standards even when told they are Common Core Michael Henderson research director of the polling lab said political controversies "have taint ed" the Common Core brand Need on IRA?
