Nasheed: Tax Credit Would Not Help

State Rep. Jamilah Nasheed told the committee yesterday that her area didn’t want the $95 million Land Assemblage Tax Credit.

“Until we understand it and until we know better what’s going to take place in the areas we represent, we don’t want it,” said Nasheed.

She said developer Paul McKee has been “disrespectful to the local elected officials” and she thinks it is “pathetic” for anyone to support the tax credit without first seeing his plan for the area.
