Impact analysis
Taxpayer money is being diverted to pay federal fines instead of going toward city services.
Federal environmental agencies benefit by enforcing wildlife protection standards and collecting the penalty fees.
Local residents lose out because their tax dollars are paying for a mistake rather than fixing potholes or parks.
