Fine, if we want to keep the Flames, the amount of money the City kicks in should be the minimum amount to keep them in the City, after the maximum amount of time has past and not a dollar more.
They are a for profit businesses. I want them here, I admit they spur other investment, civic pride and I assume that their foundation gives more to charity as a % of their profits then other private organizations.
This why I am for a handout to them in the form of the minimum amount possible to keep them here - which is more then we would give other struggling businesses.
