Goodness.  If that's an accurate summary of events then it's an extremely odd way for the OIO to negotiate and begs further explanation.  If the "deal" with OIO needed a sweetener like that, then the question is why would it - if the applicant met requirements?  That implies that perhaps they didn't meet requirements, and that as you say, it was a bribe to make the "problem" disappear.

 

 

 

 

I guess we should be thankful for transparency... but I really disapprove of where that money went. There should have been proper actual social component to it, and it should have been $200,000 or $250,000 and an environmental bond
