Kentucky: Millions for Noah's Ark

Excuse me, while I hyperventilate: While some state budgets can't even afford to cover their neediest for life-saving operations like organ transplants, the state of Kentucky chooses to support a "unique" development project: The same investors who financed the Creation Museum in Petersburg, want to put up 150 Million Dollars for a Noah's Ark Theme Park, with live animals like Giraffes. And in return, they will receive 37.5 Million Dollars (one quarter of the total investment amount) in tax breaks. Read more about it here in Monday's New York Times.
