ninersdd Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I remember the good admiral mocking Sharks (whateverthehell) guy Brodie Brazil. Add this to his ledger:brodiebrazilCSNCan't imagine the fate of your team being determined by a city council vote. Good news: the #coyotes are staying in AZ by a 4-3 count.Sharks and 'Yotes are still in the same division, right? Enjoy going to the desert and getting owned by Mike Smith three-six times a season again.4 shutouts in his last 6 games against the Sharks. Great.

waltere Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 In summary then, a town so in debt that it is 31 policemen and a whole fire station short of what it should have has voted to continue to pump money into a hockey franchise, in order that they can be anchor tenant on, and therefore 'save', a strip mall which is currently failing even with them there.

rams80 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 So....the other carrot was a promise to sort of make Glendale whole when the team moves in 5 years. Out of curiosity, does that obligation vanish if you declare bankruptcy?

DustDevil61 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) If each of you were more interested in your personal local governmental authority and in Robert's Rules, as opposed to the issues of the elected officials of Glendale, North America would be a slightly better place.Motion to put my balls in your mouth?Stop worrying about another community and look towards how your local tax money goes away or jobs lost.Thing is, the reason why I've been so strongly against this is that something similar may, one day, end up happening in a community I reside in.*While odds are small that a Glendale-magnitude situation happens again, who's not to say that some city, somewhere, goes this far to "save" a given money pit, whatever it is? What if this becomes the precedent for pro teams in the future? Do we want to see other municipalities possibly go bankrupt so they can "save" a given pet project? I don't.*OK, it probably wouldn't be sports-related, but I would want to make sure public money--my money--goes toward something that's beneficial to the community.

The_Admiral Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Not sure who else is keeping tabs, but the city of Chicago is closing public schools left and right (but mostly south) while using TIFs to divert tax money into building a--you guessed it!--sports arena and surrounding shopping and entertainment district, which will host DePaul basketball in an area that is geographically incompatible with DePaul basketball because no one can get to the games if they even wanted to anyway which they don't. Government-financed arena-mall in an asinine location for a crappy sports team while cutting off essential city services. DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR. 2 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
