Even assuming the review itself would be "impartial," isn't it the case that the underwriter sets the scope or the parameters? For example, will the review determine whether the PILOT is appropriate in the first place, or whether the dollar amount of the tax abatement is fair, or some other criteria? I would like to hear from the Council whether the Council itself defined the scope. <br /><br />Otherwise, are we all just ok with just more obfuscation masquerading as transparency?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17886598975448026373noreply@blogger.com
