Well the laws should be applied equally to everyone, including tax laws. That's a pretty simple principle. If you're going to make an exception, you need to reassure people that rule of law is still a thing and you're not just letting a company buy a different set of laws for themselves, which is kinda what this looks like.



I get the rule of law aspect, but law leaves room for negotiation for this, otherwise someone woyld have sued the city, no?


> Well the laws should be applied equally to everyone, including tax laws.

Do you feel this way about all laws, including drug laws regarding possession and mandatory minimums?


Yeah, hopefully the next time an $800B company developing cutting edge software/tech wants to locate in an economically stressed area stakeholders do better job reassuring people the rule of law still applies.
