Arizona Republic:  “The Goldwater Institute is suing Tempe over the incentives it offered Sea Life U.S. Inc. to open the nation’s second Sea Life Aquarium in Tempe in June.  The conservative think tank filed the lawsuit on Monday in Maricopa County Superior Court. The institute claims Tempe offered Sea Life, a subsidiary of the UK-based Merlin Entertainments Group, an illegal subsidy to attract the $15 million, 26,000-square-foot aquarium to open at Arizona Mills Mall.  Tempe offered Sea Life a $218,000 retail-development tax-incentive agreement.”
