The story reports:

“You have to ask why our citizens are among the highest taxed in the nation but our businesses are among the lowest,” said Sen. Ed Mayne, a West Valley Democrat who is sponsoring legislation to repeal some tax breaks. “And if tax incentives are such a good idea, there shouldn’t be any unemployed people in the state, and businesses should be flocking to Utah. But they are not. Why?”
…
Last year, Mayne introduced a bill to repeal some business tax breaks to generate tens of millions of dollars during a cash-strapped year that saw education funding decline for the first time in two decades. But Republicans promptly replaced Mayne’s bill with a sales tax on cable and satellite television subscribers.
This year, Nucor Steel in northern Utah is lobbying lawmakers to renew a $100,000 per year tax break instituted several years ago, even though the company is profitable.
“It’s criminal,” Mayne said. “We’re talking about $100,000 of taxpayer money into the pocket of Nucor shareholders.”
Maybe so, but that hasn’t stopped Democrats from supporting tax breaks of their own. Mayne is a co-sponsor of a tax break for companies using alternative fuels to generate energy. And Senate Minority Whip Ron Allen, D-Stansbury Park, is sponsoring legislation to give tax breaks to Utah’s motion picture industry.
