圣保罗纽曼中心(St. Paul’s Newman Center)购买《关于法戈大学公寓的展望》引起了对通过TIF计划逃税指控的批评,但城市官员证实销售是合法的,符合现有协议。 The St. Paul’s Newman Center’s purchase of The View on University Apartments in Fargo has drawn criticism over alleged tax evasion via a TIF program, but city officials confirm the sale was legal and compliant with existing agreements. 该建筑物现在由一个免税的宗教团体拥有,将成为基于信仰的住房,其行为规则与大学相似。 The building, now owned by a tax-exempt religious group, will become faith-based housing with conduct rules similar to those at universities. 中心说,它没有义务维持非宗教住房,强调透明度、租户通知和高需求——由于空间限制,有90名学生被拒之门外。 The center says it was not obligated to maintain secular housing and emphasizes transparency, tenant notification, and high demand—having turned away 90 students due to space limits. 批评者关于串通合谋的主张被驳斥为毫无根据。 Critics’ claims of collusion are dismissed as baseless. 争议反映了在宗教自由和公共政策问题上更广泛的紧张关系,但在宪法保护下,交易仍然合法。 The controversy reflects broader tensions over religious freedom and public policy, but the transaction remains lawful under constitutional protections.
