He voted against the reduction in the commercial property tax abatement. Yet reducing the abatement increases the value of his existing holdings that are grandfathered under the 100% abatement.

I’m not sure how you can get more impartial?

He’s not done building. The value of continuing the abatement is much more readily realized than the marginal increase of property value of his existing portfolio

For his future buildings, he’s on a level playing field with all the other new buildings, it doesn’t matter.

He is on a level-ish playing field with other builders/developers, but I think thats beside the point. He’s directly benefiting from a continuing tax abatement, which he voted to do.
