Hey #yegcc if you’re going to use public money to fund #yegarena you’d better stop talking about it in private!

Henderson expressed concerns that this could bind a future #yegcc - but Farbrother says any agreement would. #yegarena
by

4/10/2013 9:55:30 PM
So the plan or the #yegarena is to build it with funding from #hopesanddreams? Where is the other $55 million coming from? #yegcc

#yegcc knows citizens are angry about #yegarena. I don't think they realize HOW angry. #socialmedia is NOT looking good here.

A heads up for #yegcc, just because Katz assumed that the missing $100M for #yegarena would be public money doesn't mean that it has to be.

All other Canadian NHL arenas pay property taxes, Ms. CFO. The half-truths are pissing me off just a teensy little bit. #yegarena #yegcc

Sloan asks what happens if #oilers default - Rosen says they are indemnified in agreement. #yegarena #yegcc

#yegcc: so #ableg is giving 150/750/750m less MSI than promised in 2013-14-15 and your $100m for #yegarena will come from the remainder?

I'm not sure why Sloan focused in minutia. Kerry Diotte comes back to issue of the $100 million. #yegarena #yegcc

Kerry says original deal stated this deal could NOT go through without that $100 million #yegarena #yegcc @KerryDiotte

Farbrother says MSI provides $45 million of missing $100 million. #yegarena #yegcc

We don't have the full $100 million says @KerryDiotte. Farbrother agrees #yegcc #yegarena
by

How can taking $3M a year from MSI not affect other projects? Clearly, they think we are as stupid as logs. Dead wet logs. #yegarena #yegcc

And guess what? They said no. At least, that's the impression Farbrother leaves, without saying it too plainly. #yegarena #yegcc

Diotte wants to know what happens if they get into Octane/Indy scenario, and shell company declares bankruptcy. #yegarena #yegcc
