This also means the City of Edmonton has less money to spend on other things in those areas.
With property taxes going up 4.9% in Calgary every year for the next four years I do think in the short term there will be a large public outcry for any public money going towards a project with taxes going up so much.

Again.....call it whatever you want, it's provincial money and it's going to the arena.
