Entice with tax revenues? What are they going to do? Share a business case? "we got this article from this Sunday paper guy"
[sigh] - you said the Owners' oil and gas business would take some sort of reputational hit. That's CNRL (for Edwards). I asked how, and after talking about their clients etc, and getting that rebutted, you eventually said "in their negotiations with the city". Maybe you are mixing up your arguments.

As far as tax revenues, I don't entirely buy the "build it and increase tax revenues" case, but there's more than just a newspaper article to support it. There are studies both ways.

ETA: though I believe the majority of studies favour the little or no impact conclusion
