Wash. gov OKs tax cut for newspapers
Gov. Chris Gregoire has approved a tax break for the state's troubled newspaper industry.
OLYMPIA, Wash. — Gov. Chris Gregoire has approved a tax break for the state's troubled newspaper industry.
The new law gives newspaper printers and publishers a 40 percent cut in the state's main business tax. The discounted rate mirrors breaks given in years past to the Boeing Co. and the timber industry.

Getting such taxpayer subsidies would seem to compromise the newspapers’ integrity [perhaps an oxymoron].
I wonder if getting such a tax break will prohibit them from making endorsements of candidates.
