A lot less people is paid to the aldermanic races (voters, candidates, and media all contribute to that). These developers aren't making their case for subsidies with voters, they're trying to buy the aldermen they need and hoping that voters aren't paying enough attention to kybosh the whole thing.

Attempting to circumvent the mayor, rather that openly facing off with him, is a rather sneaky way to advance their cause.
