Broadway, in Eugene. <br />If this MUPTE is granted, the local taxpayers will have to pay for the project occupant's use of City provided <br />services, and City property taxes on yet another real estate development. It will also give an unfair advantage to <br />a corporate developer based in Chicago and help upset Eugene’s real housing market. Most local developers <br />are not granted such an exemption. <br />I think it’s rather obvious by now that the City’s essential services should be given a higher priority than <br />enriching an out-of-state developer. Ignoring this fact will deepen the resentment toward the local government, <br />and ruin any chance of passing a possible bond measure for a new city hall. Remember the 2-to-1 beating of the <br />City fee measure. <br />I know some MUPTE proponents claim that tax exemptions will pay dividends in the future. However with the <br />City’s overdrawn general fund, this MUPTE includes a huge risk that services may have to absorb. <br />Thank you, <br />Brian Weaver <br />Ward #1 <br />1 <br />
