I posted it in the other thread, but what bothers me is the way he handled it. You can't really argue with him in that what is the point of the meeting, since there is no new info. But really instead of putting out a snarky release he could have just said that the city isn't prepared to discuss the project until the report on the land clean up comes in.
Honestly the city has to work with the Flames on this regardless of how much they are willing to chip in.
So changing gears....
How would everyone feel if the report came back and it was 50 million-ish to clean the site and the city offered to do the clean up, give them the land, and do some re-routing of roads? Flames are on the hook for the building(s), the ball is in their court if they want to build just a rink or a rink and football stadium.
