I'm on the fence. I'd like to know who pays for the cost overruns? I'd also like confirmation of facilities will be built rather than assuming that there will be a new arena.

"Fiscal conservatives" as a general rule aren't actually fiscally conservative. They just don't want their money going to other citizens.
In fact it's because of taxes helping lower income families/mentally ill/injured/sick that wealthy citizens want things like hockey arenas/events etc, because they feel like it's personal value for their tax dollars. Something they get to enjoy.
