Are the costs that are being covered costs the city would carry next year regardless of the Coyotes being there?
There's a lot more to be considered than just the dollars being pledged.

I could be incorrect but I believe I saw on TSN last year a lot of the outrage is the city council is made up of a lot of the same people who committed to building this thing to begin with. They made the blunder and now are trying to save their butts by throwing money at it.
Even if this thing was built by a totally different group of politicians this current city council is still throwing away good money after bad. If the arena can't sustain and pay for itself it shouldn't be there.
