But waiting not too long, and really surprising no one when this goes down...
David Shoalts, in his piece for the Globe and Mail, caught up with Arizona watchdog Carrie Ann Sitren to get her impression of the deal that the City of Glendale has with the National Hockey League at present...
"By delegating the power and responsibility of [council] to the city manager, the city has violated the law,” Sitren told Shoalts.
In the City Council meeting, mayor Elaine Scruggs gave city manager Ed Beasley the go-ahead to work out the agreement with the National Hockey League to backup any Phoenix Coyotes losses- up to US$25-million.
Sitren and the Goldwater Institute are waiting until the minutes of the meeting from Tuesday are officially published, but this is really a fait accompli...
“The city gave away all its power and responsibility to the city manager to come up with a deal," she added. "That does not fly under the laws here.”
