    Can anyone comment on why the need for so much secrecy? My initial reaction was meh, but after seeing shell companies and the mayor under NDA, wtf?

      Agreed, your comment made me look into the practice a bit more and I guess it is fairly common? Bunch of horseshit imo, the public needs to be able to have transparency into this sort of thing before it reaches final approval.
