"I think they need to seriously talk with AEG and/or Katz and do the RIGHT thing in this stadium debate."

Where does this infatuation with the Katz group come from? They have not committed a dollar to doing anything in Hamilton. The former Mayor held a press conference to tout Katz's vision for the WH without a dollar being committed. Meantime the current members (and taxpayers) of the Hamilton community, the Ticats and their related companies and their partners and sponsors, are ignored.

If Katz had put down some money, say even just a million bucks, their offer to invest in Hamilton might have been real. But for a billion dollar group to refuse to commit even a dollar to a "vision" is a sure sign that they were not serious and had ulterior motives. In the Katz group's case it was to use their supposed "interest in Hamilton" to put pressure on Edmonton City council to build them a $400m arena in Edmonton.

Katz got what he wanted for free, and the City of Hamilton paid the bill for the press conference to give it to them.
