At yesterday's N.C. Republican Joint Caucus press conference, N.C. House Minority Leader Paul "Skip" Stam (R-Wake) took a moment to discuss the efficacy of tax credits as incentives to outfit government buildings with green technology but also made a statement that refers to government meddling in many areas of the private sector.
"If it saves energy it doesn't need an incentive or tax credit, it just makes sense. It's only things that don't make sense that require credits."
