Leave bad Coyotes deal alone
http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/RobertRobb/164301

The proposed deal to keep the Coyotes in Glendale is really bad. It crosses an important line between building a facility and subsidizing the hockey team’s operations.

And here’s what I think fiscal conservatives should do about it: Nothing.

Sometimes the most prudent thing to do about a bad deal is just to live with it.

Ballmer part of investor group for Seattle arena

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer will be part of the investment group led by Chris Hansen that has proposed a new NBA/NHL arena in the city of Seattle.

Goldwater Institute to sue Glendale over Coyotes deal today

http://azcapitoltimes.com/news/2012/...es-deal-today/

Lucy Caldwell, a spokeswoman and lobbyist for the institute, said the lawsuit will argue that the city violated open meetings laws.

The lawsuit will claim that Glendale violated a 2009 court order when it approved the Coyotes deal on June 8 without having released all the exhibits and documents associated with the lease agreement.
