That is a pretty broad definition but I'm sure it's technically correct. I just think the term partnership is more beneficial to a sports team owners than it is to city taxpayers. Maybe the Flames should better articulate how they will advance the interest of the average taxpayer? KK espousing the benefits of environmental cleanup at West Village sure came across as self serving.
But I'm not exactly impartial in this. I find the idea of public money going towards private enterprise, beyond what could result in a likely economic return rather distasteful. If pro hockey can't survive in a city like Calgary without public subsidy then wtf?
