One thing that would really help this debate is a good hard look at what costs the Glendale taxpayers more:
Covering the outstanding debt on an empty arena with no tenant and few dates in use
vs.
The cost of the bond offering, but having a team there generating revenue
Figure out which number is lower, and you have an idea of what Glendale really should be doing. I doubt very much the answer to that question is something Bouw and Arrow would want to hear.
