Why is the state's system so inefficient?
How much money could the state be saving by improving the process?
How much are businesses being negatively impacted by the slow speed these credits are being processed?

In particular, if you or I clocked up $26m in tax breaks for a tax year, that would suggest that you or I were investing (say) $50m into the state every year.

If all the paperwork was in as necessary, why were they having to pull strings at all to get them processed? Why is the state's system so inefficient? How much money could the state be saving by improving the process? How much are businesses being negatively impacted by the slow speed t…
