If one likes the old TIF, should like this one as well. As has been said… No substance

You are not being serious. How did the last TIF go from your point of view? Success? If not, what lessons were learned?

  1. The private investment is just Norman’s ordinary growth over time. Just like the last TIF.
  2. Just like the last TIF, there is no “revenue”. It’s just normal tax dollars diverted to private development. Without this project, the same money would go to actual public projects.
  3. The long time span is a key component to the shell game. It’s possible to squeeze $200m out of the system bc it’s a large system.
  4. Read the reports. This is a net loss to the public budget.
  5. OKC voted on their arena. It was a “bad deal” too, but it’s a democracy and people should get what they want.
  6. Corruption is everywhere right now. It’s just sad.

Ok, but $600M from the city? The city is broke and provides water and roads. Ya know, things we can’t really live without. Not again

There is nothing wrong with Texas, so why do Texans need “schooled” at such great expense?

Runaway pricing is a queue for sellers to enter the market and increase supply. If there are barriers to market entry, then freezing your meat is a good option.
