Council has totally been played on this file. Salvage your self respect councillors and take control of the process. It’s OUR money that is being spent by the millions with no accountability or transparency. It’s not too late to turn this around and insist that if we are going to build an entirely new stadium, that it be at the location of OUR choosing, a location that was voted on time after time, that the public and all the major institutions/groups came out in DROVES to endorse.

Opportunity doesn’t come at a time of our choosing, but make no mistake, this is an opportunity. Make this decision a turning-point where the city takes its future back in our own hands and out of the pockets of those who have not only abused the process, but done so with an astonishing lack of respect for those who they are suppose to represent. Otherwise, why else are you there Council? You are not a rubber-stamp committee for the whims of the Mayor and City Manager. You gave them the benefit of the doubt for far too long and what has it got you? How to you explain to Hamiltonians why we must settle for a second-rate, equally expensive solution that was not well thought out?

You had it right the first time, so many months ago. You got backed into a corner and were forced to make a bad decision with incomplete information. Now with more facts on the table, don’t hold your nose and continue along this path. Don’t just ask questions to make a show of being critical, but in the end be complicit with a process that had made a mockery of our city. Show leadership and you will have literally thousands of citizens supporting you.
