Development spurred by the Clinton presidential library proves it deserves the same tax incentives as for-profit businesses, an attorney for the library�s foundation argued in court Monday.
The William J. Clinton Presidential Foundation sued the Arkansas Department of Economic Development more than two years ago after it denied Advantage Arkansas tax credits to the nonprofit organization, which is building the Clinton library in Little Rock. The state has argued that only for-profit businesses are eligible for the program.
At Monday�s hearing, the foundation and the state asked Pulaski County Circuit Judge Willard Proctor Jr. to rule immediately on the lawsuit. "
