Former N.C. Supreme Court Justice and incentives opponent Bob Orr is speaking out against Guilford County Commissioner Steve Arnold’s plan to set aside $1.3 million for tax breaks to small businesses that expand their tax base.

Orr “all of these incentives are unconstitutional,” whether they’re for small businesses or large companies like Dell and FedEx.

There’s just never any give-and-take where government is concerned.
