Amendment One, otherwise known as Tax Increment Financing (TIFs), will be on the ballot this Fall for the voters of NC. There is a massive publicity campaign underway to ensure passage of this bad idea.

It was failed by NC voters in 1982 and 1993. Chamber of Commerce organizations, Economic Development Corporations, Home Builders and elected boards are being strongly being asked to pass resolutions in support of this concept without a full understanding of what they're voting on.
