If council gives green light to go ahead, Farbrother says would be planning to be back in front of #yegcc in March. #yegarena

The idea of paying a ticket tax at Rexall really burns me. Why should I pay extra for an arena I'm not even using? #yegcc #yegarena

Option A for construction of #yegarena would cost $601mill. $219 mill from city, $143 mill from Katz Group, $125 mill from ticket surcharge.

There is no way that taxes don't increase as a result of #yegarena deal getting passed by #yegcc. NONE. #mathisapparentlyhard
