There is a survey available too.

I just looked at this site. It's a joke. I'm not particularly for or against a bid... I'd just like to see things being investigated fairly.

First of all, the committee is filled all with people with an interest in seeing something like this happen. Every single person has nothing to gain with a failed or non-bid. Secondly, the "survey" is filled with descriptions/questions designed to gain a specific answer.

Lastly, without any other data collection (i.e. a name, email, registration... ANYTHING), the survey is open to be compromised. I mean, if I'm someone who say... wants a new hockey stadium built, I would put a little bit of money into skewing the survey via people or bots, wait for the results and then say, "see? People want this!"
