In reply to the discussion: County that shelled out tax rebates for creationist Ken Ham's Ark museum 'teetering on bankruptcy' [View all]Scruffy1
(3,420 posts)55. So they handed these nuts $62,000,000. 00
This whole thing was always a shell game. If it fails, which is likely eventually, the county will still have to pay off the bonds. In the meantime it has to provide fire, police protection and of course infrastructure without getting a dime of property tax. This was besides the $18,000,000 the state handed to them. I'm going to Kentucky and build a Flying Spaghetti Monster Museum and Peep Show. I'll never have to work again. i wonder how much the judge charges who made the decision on the 18 million. I need to know so I can put it in my plan. Right know I'm assuming 10%, but they might be cheaper and more competitive in Kentucky. Fooling the locals is apparently no problem.

Looks like a nice place for a family outing. Maybe get baptized while you're there.
