The Goldwater Institute in Phoenix challenged a city gift, essentially, to a developer and shopping center. The trial court ruled against them, and now the developer is seeking $600K in attorneys' fees for their having had the temerity to suggest the gift violated the state constitutional ban on subsidizing individuals.
