The really frustrating part is that no one forces these people to play these scenarios out to an end.
Ok, we "give NBR money". What happens next?
Does the metro council decide what businesses are built and where?
Do Chauna Banks and Gary force Albertson's to build a facility on Plank Road?
Does SWB force developers to build new 2 story houses in 70805 or raze and rebuild old ones? Does the city/parish pay for/subsidize this?
Do we award government contracts to "black businesses" whether they can perform the work or meet the requirements or not?
They all love to shoot from the hip and say the things that their constituencies love to hear because they can get away with it. No one, other than their detractors, actually ask to see a business plan or more details of these fantasies.
This is like letting 4 year olds decide what they want to eat for dinner every night.

You're trying to reason with the unreasonable. It can't work. facts or logic aren't important to these types.

Believe it or not.
I agree with you.
The best solution would be to force the NBR to meet a set of demands.
1) if you desire contributions, you must show that the area can produce at least 30% of proposed donation.
2) you must provide a detailed plan regarding how the funds will be spent and provide proof of purchase regarding services rendered to an assigned review board under SBR jurisdiction.
3) you will be assigned a specific timeline for completion of all services rendered. Failure to meet timeline will mean termination of future funding and other demerits as outlined by the contract.
4) proof of employment and other means by which persons are employed should be cataloged. The number of employees and their assigned responsibilities should be provided in a detailed report to the SBR.
I could go on, but you get the idea. Honestly, I'm thinking of running for mayor or city council when I'm older
