Bailout

BAILOUT
For a BILLIONAIRE?
NO to Gloucester Crossing’s TIF



· Highly profitable DeMoulas grossed $2.5 billion in ‘07. Do they need a 50% tax break from our City?
· Sam Park’s poor planning has escalated his construction costs. Does he expect the City to bail him out for his mistakes?
· Isn’t giving Park the Fuller ball field for a mall access road enough?
· Sam Park’s Gloucester Crossing, with 250 toilets, paid $14K in hookup fees. What did you pay?
· When local businesses close down, expect a net loss in local jobs and tax revenues.
· Will you get a tax break for sitting stalled among 8,000 more cars/day on 128 extension?
· The vernal pond has been clear-cut by Sam Park and the Babson Reservoir is downstream of the Mall. Reward the Mall with millions in forgiven taxes?
· Could our schools, fire stations, police, and DPW maker better use of the $2,300,000 in TIF tax money?

With your help we’ll stop this bailout.
This is a democracy, NOT a Done Deal.
