This hasn't worked in Providence. The TSA's should only apply to companies that create high paying jobs that don't cannibalize or compete with businesses that don't get the tax breaks. Of course the developers want to see the tax breaks. It puts more money in their pockets quicker. You want to see the power of TSA's done poorly; go to the malls in Warwick and look at the shuttered businesses. That is what the TSA's given to the Providence Place mall did to businesses in Warwick. TSA's have a place in civic and economic development. We need to bring in businesses that sell their products outside of the area. Not ones that bankrupt other Warwick and Rhode Island businesses.
