Druh's Blog: Is CalgaryNEXT a good idea?
http://www.calgary.ca/councillors/wa...good-idea.aspx

I do not doubt for a moment that the need for modern facilities exists. It is still not clear that this is the right place to build them or that public money and free land should be given to a for-profit corporation. A comprehensive business case is essential to ensure that this proposal is in the best interests of Calgarians. I look forward to seeing that business case and discussing the overall proposal with the ownership group and my Council colleagues. I also welcome your feedback on the issue at anytime.

"We believe that no taxpayer funds or subsidies should be provided to build a new Calgary stadium."

Do people actually believe that this city will get new facilities without any tax money going towards it? Especially after what just happened in Edmonton? Or are they just using exaggeration to get their point across?

I really don't know at this point.
