W...The deal is done so why no release the data. <br /><br />Why not release the data on Galatyn. Let's see if the <br />metrics were real or not. I would have to say NOT based <br />on the store fronts not there. The one restaurant held<br />out for a long time and has been closed for a while now. <br /><br />So did it work? Doesn't really look like it. <br />Did it generate the revs they projected? Doesn't really look like it. <br /><br />What about Brick Row? <br />Did it work? Did it generate the revs to even pay off the grants offered? <br /><br />Sorry, I just cannot say that the notion of all those metrics being private when developers' standard practice is to already know them and bait cities against each other for tax incentives. <br /><br />Its a level of extortion. <br /><br />Cheri Duncan-Hubert<br />Sassy Texanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498774040581968874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498525082522582900.post-25980930980939405172015-05-28T09:12:52.162-05:002015-05-28T09:12:52.162-05:00Peggy, I am curious, too, but as a taxpayer, I app...Peggy, I am curious, too, but as a taxpayer, I appreciate that this information is private. These are business negotiations over millions of dollars. If one side releases all its research and conducts its strategy sessions in the open, the other side has a decided advantage. Future negotiations are made more difficult as well.Mark Stegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376182294736839659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498525082522582900.post-11751867328378212972015-05-28T06:49:30.117-05:002015-05-28T06:49:30.117-05:00It would be nice if the City of Richardson would s...It would be nice if the City of Richardson would share the data or research they relied upon for the approval of this deal....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06756593259009075091noreply@blogger.com
