Wrong. Our money should fix potholes, and nothing else.

Bang on, EdWin! Smile

Agreed! If tax dollars can go towards photographs of dead rabbits hanging from trees wearing gas masks, they can go towards hockey.

This coming from a guy with a Fine Arts degree, nonetheless!

A group of 6 have offered 160 million for the Coyotes!
If we didn't have lame ass politicians when Shenkerow sold off the Jets for $85 million, the Province could have bought them for $50 . That was the deal. Govt should have , but it would have been too politically damaging. Today the govt will kick in that amount of money for a new stadium. What a short cited stance.
The key was the operating costs and the salaries going up from $16 million to a projected $30. Today , what is the cap? $55 million. How do you charge 13,000 seats to cover $50,000,000?
