Re: Ham To Sue For Divinely Appointed Tax Rebates
That DOES disqualify them. If they are a religious organization they can hire or not hire based on the applicants' beliefs. If they are NOT a religious organization and want the tax rebates that the state is offering then they can't discriminate in their hiring practices.
​
The theme park was not registered as a religious organization.

Re: Ham To Sue For Divinely Appointed Tax Rebates
It isn't discriminatory. He wanted his cake and to eat it too. If he wants to register as a for profit company and claim state paid tax incentives he has to follow the laws that govern all organizations that receive government money.
​
If he wanted to be discriminatory in his hiring practices he should have created a religious organization.

Re: Ham To Sue For Divinely Appointed Tax Rebates
The source you list seems to be his lawyer. That is a lawyer's job. Murderers' lawyers claim their innocence.
​
AIG is a religious organization. It has totally different hiring laws imposed on it than a for-profit organization asking for government money.
​
If the rebate hadn't been okayed solely because of AIG's involvement then it WOULD be discrimination. But as it stands the theme park has to follow secular organization tax and hiring laws.

Re: Ham To Sue For Divinely Appointed Tax Rebates
Then I guess he should have registered the theme park AS a religious organization.
​
He didn't because he wanted that rebate.
