I wish information was better communicated it’s been very disappointing the quality of discourse by the Yes and No campaigns. I will say that CP did a pretty good job with people on both sides keeping each other honest to ensure argument for fact based or if they were emotion based were clearly labeled as suchZ

I watched a thing on the news last night and listening to both speakers was so annoying. Both just intentionally misleading and exagerating. From impact to property taxes on cost over runs, economic benefits of the games, risk, etc it was just political talking points that have previously been debunked.

I hope that the outcome of tomorrow is taken as final provided the deal doesn’t materially change and if it does get approved that everyone rally’s behind the games. I think one thing that both yes and no can agree with is that the games themselves will be awesome.
