We also shouldn't confuse their desire to avoid plebiscites with a desire to avoid public assistance.
Announcing that they intend to develop a particular site sounds like more of the same.

The LOI was never framed as being the actual choice, though — at the time it was described as them essentially doing due diligence on one of a slate of potential sites. The timeline for an actual result of that due diligence was always pegged for around New Years'/All-Star Break, which lines up with the recent rumblings around the land in NE Phoenix.
I have no doubts about their desire for a certain degree of public assistance, however.

I'm not sure about Frank's sources, but LeBrun didn't even have the Coyotes as a major topic of discussion in his BoG roundup today. The location doesn't actually constantly change because there hasn't been a location concretely selected yet, they've been considering a number of them in the wake of the Tempe failure. We're getting to the point where they're making that selection.
