I am interested in your thoughts. Do you believe
-that Edwards primary interest in this project is increasing the Flames worth
- that CMLC primary interest in this project is developing a project that supports the Cities goals?
And your rational that because CMLC has staff who don't work for free.... therefore they don't want to protect the interest of the City? Is that what you are saying?
There is ALOT of dumb points in this thread, I think you get the award for making the dumbest point of them all.
Pro-arena because you like it? Sure, go for that position. To argue the Edwards managing it is in the best interest of the City.... I am just amazed. Thank you

I believe that both parties have their best corporate interest at heart. The issue is why don't they trust each other and what works best for BOTH parties.
Personally I would like to see them get moving on a new building and find out who let this information out to general public. Who does leaking, or disseminating, of information help/hurt the most? The last point to me is the party with the most to lose in the negotiation.
I am not disparaging CMLC, they seem to have done a wonderful job handling the $37-$39M of city tax money so far, but what is the real reason for the sudden dispute?
Thanks for your answer above.
