Not that I totally disagree with your premise, but acting as is this is some basic life necessity is a bit far. Think of how many sheets of community ice we could add for the cost?

Well if that's the case, why do we need a new Library? Why do we need a new Convention Center? Every city needs an event center that they can be proud of, for buisiness purposes, and for community purposes. I would argue the merits of keeping an NHL team in the City, but I know that would be pointless. Besides, if the Arena is partially funded privately, that would mean the taxpayers save.
