Well, as a city it is a bit stupid to support the 'rich' NHL and a 'rich' owner (who isn't using his own money) when your city is in ruins, disrepair and difficulty.

This feed, although entertaining, is lagging so bad I can't listen anymore. Hurry up and make a decision Glendale.

Well, there's nothing illegal about being in debt - unless you can't repay it. And even then, given that debtor's prison was eradicated many decades ago, it's not 'illegal' so no jail for them. Maybe no reelection - but no jail.

I think it should be illegal for politicians to put a city into debt to cover up their own stupid spending

Of course I know it's not practical. Just spit balling.

I think it has more to do with the fact that it's an NHL issue. Enjoy your acer tabler in your bathtub with a catcus near by

They care about the state of the league and the intelligence of it's business dealings.

They care about the leadership of the league.

They care about politics and decisions that are the same all over North America in principle and are argued here in the OTF daily in many other veins.

They care about teams in Canada, and wonder if some of the ones we lost, ever got such good treatment.

Do they care about Glendale? Probably not. But there are plenty of reasons for them to care about the issue.

watching this city council meeting only one phrase comes to mind.

"democracy has failed for the people of Glendale"

No, cupcakes are rich, and you're not getting those either.
