THE DORCHESTER HOTEL: VOTING MY CONSCIENCE
Keywords:
public private partnershipsAbstract
In recent years, public-private partnerships have become common. When the town of Summerville, South Carolina was poised to enter into a public-private partnership with Applegate & Co to build a boutique hotel in the historic district, Councilman Walter Bailey faced a dilemma. As a lawyer, he was wary of the downside, but the potential income that the project could create for the city was quite appealing. The case for the public-private partnership appeared compelling. The contractor promised only upside, but as a lawyer, Bailey was trained to think defensively. He wants to do what is best for the city, but he is not sure that this particular arrangement is in the best interest of the city
