In fairness, the amount of public cash that the Coyotes have sucked out of there probably has a fair amount to do with that.
Kind of the thing we're trying to avoid in this particular situation.
And again, I dont think anyone, including Nenshi, has a problem with public money going into an arena, its just a question of 'how much' and 'for what public benefit.'
