The multi-step TIF process precludes fair development's requirement of transparency and informed public participation necessary to explore the above questions and establish human rights based accountability standards. TIF details remain out of public view until the final stage when the project emerges to the City Council after being crafted by the Baltimore Development Corporation, Board of Finance, bond counsel and financial advisers. This journey is hardly transparent, and leaves end-stage legislators ill equipped to interrogate intelligently. According to The Sun, the city already has declined to share the full estimate of the costs associated with the proposal, including interest payments and issuance costs, which are likely to add millions.
