The stage was set...
first public speaker,one-time aldermanic candidate Gwen Lashock, took LarryBoy(and,indirectly, Dancin'Doug) to task over the "blank check" mentality surrounding the Metro Centre bailout....

"...After the July 29 council meeting, Lashock said, she’d spoken with Brian Luther, the arena’s interim manager. During their conversation, Lashock reported, it was learned the MetroCentre employs 18 full-time employees, not including 16 full-time workers devoted to the IceHogs.“Do you know we have a full-time ice technician?” Lashock questioned aldermen. “Brian tells me that they are all busy every single day. There are only four shows this summer. What could they possibly do all day?”... “Are we just giving them money to meet their payroll? "....
See,Loopy Luther keeps whining about...

"... they owe local vendors around 300-thousand dollars....
" WHY doesn't Council find WHO these "vendors" are,WHAT did they vend, and INFORM THE PUBLIC???? is this STILL from the Coreysezfinished(but sure don't LOOK finished) "renovation"???
This week,however, LarryBoy trots out 3 pro-bailout stooges...my favorite had to be the CPA from the accounting firm that audited the Metro finances....he stood there and could only assure the public that the Metro used "GenerallyAcceptedPractices"....a truly ringing endorsement....
