We'll just take the extra $100m out of the pothole repair fund. Oh wait...

Predicted months ago #yegarena was going to be $600mil but honestly thought that would be final cost. Can we call this a boondoggle yet?by scottpenny via twitter 1/23/2013 7:11:52 PM -
If you're an Oilers reporter, Cllrs with ?s are a nuisance. If you're a news reporter or taxpayer, they're doing their job. #yegcc #yegarenaby BRinYEG via twitter 1/23/2013 7:11:56 PM -

So, Katz and #yegcc are going to agree on a #yegarena that they can't afford and beg the Province for $$. Shut'em down @Premier_Redfordby karmitage8 via twitter 1/23/2013 7:14:31 PM -

"Edmonton's building and it's growing as a community and hopefully (#yegarena) will add to that. I'm sure it will." - Jordan Eberle #Oilersby John MacKinnon via twitter 1/23/2013 7:14:55 PM -
Excited to hear #yegarena might finally be close to done. The city needs it, downtown #yeg needs it!! Makes sense for all involved. #doitby ReidistheDUDAR via twitter 1/23/2013 7:15:09 PM -

Awesome that #yegcc thinks you can spend 600 million dollars and not raise taxes. Someone is clearly brain dead and lying. #yegarenaby CommonSenseSoc via twitter 1/23/2013 7:15:52 PM
