Do they represent the city, or the greedy billionaire owners who want a new stadium? If you read Nenshi's comments, or his chief of staffs comments, the Flames owners (and Stamps/Roughnecks/Hitmen/Flames Foundation for Kids Sports, etc.) don't deserve money from public funds. So in my twisted thinking, then the Flames owners don't need to have politicians involved in anything as the teams don't represent the City.
