GLENDALE LOOKING TO RENEW CONTRACT TO KEEP COYOTES
http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=364902

The Goldwater Institute says it has to identify the source of the $25 million commitment by Glendale before it can determine whether to sue the city over this proposal.

Lieberman did not sound optimistic that a deal with Hulsizer can be worked out.
"I don't think we can finance Hulsizer. We voted on this on Dec. 14th, this is five months later," said Lieberman. "I don't think the bonding companies want this deal. I have not been able to dig up financial records on Hulsizer, try to find them."

However, he did bring up a familair name when it comes to prospective buyers for NHL franchises.

"I would be personally interested in seeing if we could do a deal with (Research in Motion president Jim) Balsillie," added Lieberman. "I think the best thing we could do is to get him to buy it and keep it here for 10 years and then I don't give a damn what he does with it."
