To suggest she didn't support the project simply isn't the case. She definitely disliked specific aspects of the project's deal, though.

Does anyone remember the main council meeting where they voted the main approval (July 2019)? The one where it went from public info to a vote in about 7 days and they rushed to vote before summer holiday...
Evan Woolley was raising some valid questions/concerns, and Gondek smacked him down for 'grandstanding' - to a wide round of applause here from arena supporters.
It's really unfortunate that last council pissed away their bargaining position and didn't take a little more time to clear up some of the unresolved questions.
