Can't blame them for being worried about 1/4 of the project's cost coming from "TBD".
I know it's en vogue to bash everything Edmonton here, and this process deserves its' share of ridicule, but do you really think the mayor would have allowed it to get this far down the tracks in the current format without assurances from the provincial government that the money would be provided in some fashion? Say what you want about Katz and certain members of city council (ahem.....Linda Sloan, Kerry Diotte), but Mandel isn't an idiot.
