Mary Lindsay, spokesperson for Reclaim Democracy-Kansas City, stated, 
“The findings of this study bring into question decisions of City Hall, 
where for years the awarding of economic incentives has been directed 
away from the communities in the city that need them the most. The 
city’s lack of an economic development plan to guide the TIF Commission 
puts developers in the driver’s seat.”
