Everyone was in a room saying their peace, and nothing was resolved in any way...
Darcy Olsen and the Goldwater Institute squared off with the City of Glendale in their unending quests to see who best represented the length of the nearest ruler.
Goldwater is not backing down from there assertion that the deal between the city and prospective owner Matthew Hulsizer is full of shenanigans. The NHL and the city of Glendale think Goldwater isn't acting in the best interest of hockey lovers everywhere ((or, at least, at Westgate City Center))...
From Chan:
"The meeting was disappointing from our perspective," said Clint Bolick, Goldwater's litigation director. "The mayor asked for our concerns and our ideas and we provided a number of concerns and ideas. The city did not seem to be open to the ideas we suggested and the city attorney repeatedly told us he would see us in court."
Goldwater came to the table with 7 concerns and 7 solutions. The think-tank suggested ideas like having Hulsizer pay for the team with his own money or have a minor-league franchise act as a tenant for the arena in Glendale.
Neither idea was received well...
Hulsizer attended the meeting and, after initially not being allowed to speak since Goldwater had no beef with him, eventually got to drop his two cents. But he left before the meeting ended...
Listen to part of the audio hyah...
The transcript of the meeting is hyah...
And hyah is the list of concerns and possible solutions...
