In this series co-produced by Good Jobs First and NPQ, titled Checking Corporate Welfare: Stories from the Front Lines, writers take a hard look at the current system, which enables corporations to write off $95 billion from their state and local tax bills each year—and explain how local groups are organizing in cities across the nation to challenge this system. In these articles, we have featured community leaders who, armed with data, are developing innovative public campaigns that are beginning to contain these corporate tax abatements—and restore funding for public schools and local public services.
