I always have to wonder at the amounts that will supposedly be added to city coffers thrown out there by developers in trying to get their projects approved. Do they ever deliver? Did the Montage? Did the Waldorf?

I would think that if they did, this would be used as an argument to approve another oversized development promising the moon and paying through the nose to advertise residents into submission. Oddly, not a word on the millions they promised.
