Hey, everyone, how smart do you have to be to understand why the merchants are rebelling against an outside, secretive agency -- that would be PACC -- setting them up for a shakedown. Who the hell is PACC? By what authority are they trying to tell shopkeepers what they can /can not do in their own stores? Brooklyn News 12 reported yesterday that Councilwoman James and PACC will be setting the tax assessments for the BID -- and MS. James's hail mary bailout fund. The fact is the BID is a hardship for the majority of the Fulton store, but James and PACC will determine who gets help and who doesn't. In other words, don't admit the BID is a mistake, make it worse by ensuring it falls unevenly, unfaurly one shop to another. Nice. How great would you feel if you're paying full freight and the guy next door gets a buy, courtesy James&PACC, Co. The BID is being fought so bitterly because it is undemocrtatic. The merchants' letter says so. Quite well. Obvious.
