This new hockey arena is beyond comprehension in the current socio-economic environment. Just what is the name of the hockey team? Who are the owners? Why aren’t they building their own stadium? Where and when did it become standard operating procedure for cities to build stadiums or arenas for sports teams?
Is this another train station where there the trains don’t run?
Earlier this year the city was holding meetings, getting people’s input, sending “experts” and inviting “experts” just to see the best way to handle our riverfronts. And the results of all that was? Why not finish one project before beginning another?
Initiative 747 just passed which limits property tax. Does the city have enough set aside for future growth to cover additional firemen and police?
How long have we had the $25 million? How much interest has been earned?
