[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm waiting for the video to become available to see what Delano Hunter had to say.

One of the oft-repeated Maret talking points was that there was an expectation of renewal, and that the city would lose credibility in future partnerships if it backed out on that expectation. If that were in fact the case, I would expect Delano Hunter to make that point emphatically: "Our lawyers reviewed the transaction, and felt that the city had an ethical obligation to renew the agreement." Case closed. But to date Hunter has not made that claim, he's danced around with vague language that the renewal was in the best interests of the city.

Hunter's silence speaks volumes. [/quote]

From what I heard, [b]Hunter was fairly clear that they have no rubric or methodology to determine the benefits and costs of these agreements[/b]. It’s a matter of subjective judgment. Trayvon and Elissa were both clearly tired by the time Hunter got to speak and their questioning was a bit soft. They should have gone after this. It’s unacceptable for an agency like DPR to be doing deals of this magnitude on a whim and without a very long paper trail.[/quote]

This is true - his very cavalier wording (I'm fairly certain about this, I was watching at the time) was "internal conversations" lead the decision making process.[/quote]
