I see no reason for funding to come from anyone but the owners of a business and their customers. This is not a public need and therefore shouldn't have anything to do with with taxpayers money.
Keb King is a snake oil salesman and I don't want a single penny of my taxes going to this.
BARF when he trotted out the line that this was a city owned building and belonged to the tax payers. Well ya, so they could walk away from it in 25 years and extort us for another new facility all while not having to pay any property tax!
Sorry bud, build your own white elephant if it's such a a good idea.

Hey bud,
I have no idea why you quoted me.
I am one of the strongest people against CalgaryNEXT, see my posts.
My point was only that a ticket tax, minus financing fees paid by the City, is indeed a 100% owner contribution.
Yet, despite quoting me and my post being as straight forward as one can get, you didn't argue against that at all.
