Conflicts of interest

I think I will write about the differences in how the candidates veiw the use of TIFs. Castle views them as "the greatest tool the city has had for development" and hasn't voted no on any, he said. He believes they will help future development of the city. Esslinger believes TIF districts are good, but should be used more specifically - for large projects. This seems to be a conflict of interest about the amount of TIFs, what they should be used on, why they are being used, etc. This will probably lead into the development issue as a whole and how Castle believes more in expanding, beautifying and bringing in businesses through TIFs and such, where Esslinger seems to be more reluctant. I need to do some more research into the nature of TIFs and research into perhaps where the TIF districts are, and who is reaping the benefits.
