skipper, it's called extortion. A way for towns to "receive" to avoid lawsuits, to bend the zoning etc.
I beleive several developers in NJ have in turn taken towns to court to challenge the "if you do this...we'll approve it". So this goes for a developer building a firehouse, a mall developer donating a gym (like the shed in Ocean twp), etc etc. The overall concept is ok - if it's at fair/equitable transaction. We're letting bribes become public. Could be worse, at least those $ don't wind up in an attic somewhere. ------------------------ Yahoo!
