Anything written by Randall O'Toole or associated with uber-right-
wing, laissez faire Cato Institute should be viewed with great
skepticism. O'Toole has been playing loose with his "facts" for a
long time. For example, he calls TIFs (Tax Increment Financing) a
subsidy, when it is not; it is a financing tool in which actual tax
revenues pay for infrastructure improvements.
Here's a response to O'Toole's tired argument, dating back to 2007!

I might have to respond to the bullcityrising post. I hate doing that.

FWIW, it wasn't the post itself that credited O'Toole, but one of my regular
commenters' Google searchin'. I tend to cringe at studies whose sources
rhyme with "Cato," "Locke" or "Heritage."

Yes, thanks for the clarification. The infamous "Green Lantern".
I'm still trying to figure out if there's any consistency in doctrine to his
posts, other than as a contrarian.
