Cops drag out activist as [Holtec International board of directors member] George Norcross testifies at N.J. Senate hearing on tax incentives
As reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer.
George Norcross is a Holtec International board of directors member.
Holtec itself was one of several Norcross affiliated companies that benefited from these controversial tax breaks, to the tune of $1.1 billion altogether.
Holtec alone got $260 million, despite its CEO, Krishna Singh, providing false information on its application paperwork.
Norcross's brother, an attorney, was instrumental in the passage of the tax break law in the first place.
Another Norcross brother is a U.S. Representative.
Further complicating matters in New Jersey, Holtec has secured a takeover of Oyster Creek nuclear power plant, for decommissioning and high-level radioactive waste management.
The high-level radioactive waste at Oyster Creek could be shipped to New Mexico for "interim storage" at a "consolidated facility," if Holtec gets its way.
