  1. RE: The Icemen (Tenant) and their lease negotiations with Landlord.
    What contract dispute? All leases are negotiated.
    The parties either agree to a contract or they don’t.
    The Icemen have proved they can create a loyal fan base. This is a win for the Tenant.
    The Landlord has proved his facility can host professional hockey. This is a win for Landlord.
    That the lease is under negotiation IS news.
    A dispute? Meh.
    All leases have an end and require negotiation. It’s a lease.
    Bad news? Bad news is when no professional hockey team is interested. That’s not the case here.

    • The bad news is that both the Icemen and the City are losing money. There is no way to create a win-win situation given the financial performance. The Icemen lose and average of $600,000 per year and the Ford Center loses $300,000 (excluding the $8 Million debt service). The real question is how to increase the size of the pie because the pie as is will poison both sides with further losses. The Icemen do have the option of cutting their losses but the City does not.

  2. In regards to the poll question, I don’t know who will come out a winner, but the loser will surely be the taxpayer who is subsidizing this mess

  3. Mercer is a rubber stamp placeholder, nothing more. John Gregg won’t win, unfortunately. Never underestimate the power of hate, and Pence channels that well.

    • Ah but no one channels hate so well as you, Ghost. Hate is present in your every post.

    • Isn’t it interesting that we have people who don’t know the difference between “reality” and “hate”? It’s such a shame that they can’t offer realistic arguments for their optimistic cheerleading and immediately lapse into name-calling and insults when they are confronted with the truth.

        those people are called leftists and democrats. You all operate under a double standard on ethics. The right must abide by them and you only have to talk about it, but never actually follow those ethics. Still amazingly shallow aren’t you.

  4. Why is it every time a rich guy like Geary is losing money republicans sympathize with him and throw money at him (see also Wall St bailout) but if a poor man is struggling on low RTW wages about to lose his home they tell him to pull himself up by his bootstraps?
