Houston did not have to pay Bass Pro to come to Houston like Denham Springs did but that conversation probably is one we could have in the political section.[/QUOTE
Denham Springs did not pay bass pro to come, they did
give them a huge tax incentive to come which will expire
after certain amount of time. My understanding is that bass
pro has pulled that same type tax deal with over half of
there locations.

Not in Houston, they wanted a piece of a 6,000,000 person city. Also a tax incentive is giving them money. If you owe the government 100k and they tell you to just pay 40k and we will forgive the rest then they just gave you 60k. My family holds multiple public offices in Livingston Parish, trust me they begged Bass Pro to come. I really like the Denham Springs location, I have been to most of their stores and Denham is one of my favorites.
