This maybe overly simplistic (conservatives have this nasty
habit of falling back on basic principles), but it seems obvious
that TIF financing reduces the overall pot of available tax
dollars. If so, then TIF financing reduces tax revenues for
the public schools. If this is incorrect, please feel free to
educate me.
If the assumption above is valid, then while we are facing
a school budget shortfall, why are some people lobbying
to maintain TIF financing for the NRP (the city's agency
of superfluous projects)?
