I fully expect this to drag on for about 18 months before we have any type of deal in place. There's the math, the politics, the re-zoning, the politics, the math, the grandstanding, the politics and finally, the math.
Just one request from the City Councillors? Shut the hell up until you've seen the complete deal. While I understand it's an election year and you want to make some political points, but please wait until all the facts and numbers are IN before making any public comment.
Katz Group? This ain't gonna fly unless you present EVERYTHING to the political powers that be. They MAY get more excited and positive once you go to them with all your ducks in a row.
Personally... I've been to every arena in the NHL except one, and as much as I love the old barn and it's history, the time has come to move forward, with civic enthusiasm for any project that MAY give downtown a much needed jolt. Don't care how it gets done, but it's time to send a very positive message to the rest of the country that we're forward thinking. I'm sure we can fake THAT?!
