Question ID:PT32 S1 Q14 Passage:City council member:  Despite the city's desperate need to exploit any available source of revenue, the mayor has repeatedly blocked council members' attempts to pass legislation imposing real estate development fees.  It is clear that in doing so the mayor is sacrificing the city's interests to personal interests.  The mayor cites figures to show that, in the current market, fees of the size proposed would significantly reduce the number of building starts and thus, on balance, result in a revenue loss to the city.  But the important point is that the mayor's family is heavily involved in real estate development and thus has a strong financial interest in the matter. Stem:The reasoning in the city council member's argument is flawed because Correct Answer Choice:BChoice A:the issue of the mayor's personal interest in the proposed legislation is irrelevant to any assessment of the mayor's action with respect to that legislation Choice B:the mayor's course of action being personally advantageous is not inconsistent with the mayor's action being advantageous for the city Choice C:the council member's own absence of personal interest in the proposed legislation has not been established Choice D:that a person or a municipality has a need for something does not, in itself, establish that that person or that municipality has a right to that thing Choice E:the possibility remains open that the mayor's need to avoid loss of family revenue is as desperate as the city's need to increase municipal revenue
