The RPI promotes regionalism and says its objective is to raise the economy of NEO. The public's impression of "regionalism" is government collaboration to reduce costs, promote efficiency and work together when appropriate to land the big developments. The reality is RPI is simply a tax and power redistribution scheme, sending dollars back to cities and giving them greater control of regional development. CF would have no problem with promoting economic development, but they could see that a plan like that of the RPI was based on social equity and not economics.
