Corporate Con Artist Jeff Vinik Gets Tax Break Intended for Poor

When Congress approved the creation of “opportunity zones” as part of Donald Trump’s 2017 tax code overhaul, it didn’t have half-billionaire Jeff Vinik in mind as the legislation’s sole beneficiary in downtown Tampa.
But a cabal of enablers—Senator Rick Scott, former Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn, and current Mayor Jane Castor—has dumped millions of diverted dollars in Vinik’s lap and itches to give 
him even more.
