Not sure I would agree that an exemption of a tax is a cost.  It may be lost 
revenue but to me a cost is an expense or, rather, the expenditure of funds.  
I suspect when each exemption was originally created it was thought to, 
possibly, create revenue through the support of the un-taxed activity.  A 
better question might be, is the value to the State still there in the 
exemption.
