State Of Ky. Withdraws Tax Breaks From Noah's Ark Park

The state of Kentucky has withdrawn its offer of tax breaks for a religious themed park.

The tourism secretary says the Ark Encounter changed from a tourist attraction to a Christian ministry, so state tax incentives cannot support it.

He also said the group was no longer honoring its pledge to not discriminate in hiring for the Ark Park.

The Ark Project was approved in July for up to $18 million dollars in tax rebates.
