Online disclosure of corporate tax breaks and other economic development subsidies lags far behind reporting on procurement contracts and lobbying activities. These are the main findings of a report entitled The State of State Disclosure released [November 15, 2007] by the Corporate Research Project of Good Jobs First.”
