The part that many others aren't seeing is that they currently do not pay property tax, but the cities plan is to start charging them in lieu of the up front contribution. They are taking one thing away while giving them something else.
So compared to what they currently receive, which is tax exemption, being charged for it now is a new revenue source for the city. I can't believe people are missing that important point.
The city previously decided that was a worthwhile contribution towards the Flames existing in our city, but now they feel it is an opportunity to take that away. It is an important distinction.
