Yeah how dare they waive $700,000 in permitting costs when Paulson is spending $11 million in straight cash into a city owned facility. I mean the last time someone wanted to spend i$11 million dollars in private capital on a publicly owned facility we charged them permitting fees. Wait, when was the last time something like this happend?
Question for this BDS employee (or question that a real reporter would ask..ahem MATT) - what are the normal permitting costs for city projects on city owned property AND is it appropriate to charge permitting costs for piblic projects which is essentially one bureau charging another. I have no idea but you see this type of information puts over the top rhetorical crap like this in context.
(You should black out the last 4 digits of the number.)
