Avon officials, led by City Council president Ed Krystowski, faced a request to reveal the name of American Yazaki Corp as a tax abatement applicant. The company seeks a 10-year break costing $1.46 million, while Krystowski argued for secrecy to avoid jeopardizing negotiations. The Chronicle-Telegram notes public access helps voters decide if incentives serve the city.
