True, but Goldwater's MO throughout has been "If we think it is a gift, we believe it is illegal, and we will go after you." If they felt this new deal was as illegal as dissentowner desperately wishes to believe, GWI would already have the full court press going. The argument that they were acting in goodwill over the first deal defies logic, and strikes me as a case of people trying to invent an easy answer for a complicated problem. You believe the deal is illegal, but Goldwater isn't making a big issue of it. You need some means of rationalizing that disconnect. That is a danger of viewing everything in black and white.
It is a bad deal for Glendale taxpayers and the city is foolish to make it. But a bad deal is not necessarily illegal.
