its 98/2....we'll likely find out tuesday...at the latest friday.
some quotes from the only councillor who voted to support the ice edge bid initially on the request by the NHL that the losses be covered:
“This is absolutely crazy,” council member Phil Lieberman said Sunday. “I will do everything I can to point that out on Tuesday.”
“We're broke,” Lieberman said. “We're $14.7-million in the hole, we're laying people off, we had to up water bills by 12 bucks a month. How can we raise so much money for a bunch of athletes?”
“We don't know what [the district] will contribute,” he said. “We don't even know what will make up the district.
“We have never discussed it yet. If CFDs are that good, why haven't we done this in the past? Everything is speculation and the whole thing is sheer stupidity.”
