[Dime Dropper]

I'd almost forgotten this was on today. I will watch or if not possible, stay updated via your twitter. Thanks again for all the hard work, Mike. Same goes to everyone else who attended and helped out.

How many hours 'til this thing starts?

How many hours 'til this thing starts?

It starts at 6 pm Pacific, so about 12 hours from.....NOW!

 

[ReinadelosReys]

This is it.

 

[BMiller52]

Can't wait... Lets get 5 votes!

 

[vistacruza_kings]

can some please clarify if this vote goes through, then we for sure get the money for a new arena. no more hurdles?

 

[BMiller52]

Anyone watching this?

 

[Dime Dropper]

The guy that's speaking now is making lots of sense. Pointing out pretty much every benefit of the arena - most of which the CAVE people willingly ignore.

Anyone watching this?

I am! Very impressive presentation so far.

I also watched Fox40 news, and got to see Sandy Sheedy pretty much expose her total ignorance of the whole issue.

It's also on Channel 14 on Comcast. Maybe that's with all cable/sat companies.

It's part of the Comcast local public programming commitment, I think. It's not on either Dishnetwork or DirecTV, at least that I could find.

 

[Brac-o-matic]

I am surprised there are 19 people there who are opposed. This should be fun.

Yeah I didn't get to see Sheedy's comments but I don't really care what she says anyway, her opinion is pretty worthless to me. I agree that the presentation's been impressive.

 

[VF21]

I am not going to post comments after those who are speaking right now. My mommy always taught me that if you cannot say something nice, it's best to say nothing.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Oh boy. It's the dude who thinks HE should be building the arena.

 

[rainmaker]

How is it a private arena if the city owns it? Most naysayers are quite uneducated on the topic.

"People need pools in this city or kids are going to jump in the river and drown!"

 

[RussoTuristo]

Isaac is an idiot ..

"People need pools in this city or kids are going to jump in the river and drown!"

LOL...I loved seeing the "5 votes" crowd trying to stifle their laughter when he said that...!

 

[Brac-o-matic]

Isaac is an idiot ..

Don't know how a guy that angry makes it through the day...

 

[VF21]

IIRC, the Dr. Noel (sp?) "report" was pretty soundly refuted. I'm really surprised they keep bringing it up...

I realize some of these people are passionate about their beliefs, but they would be well advised to at least get their "facts" straight.

 

[VF21]

Tubas? Wait... what?????? I have to add another kudo to Mayor Johnson. He didn't laugh out loud.

WTH are we thinking? We could turn the railyards into another Central Park? Wow, I never thought of that.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

"...the slippery slope to creating cacophony..." Yep, that's us, all right.

I believe Isaac also quoted Sandy Sheedy's much-maligned and mocked 'push poll' as cold hard fact. Sigh.

 

[OPrime]

Gotta give props on the use of a triangle.

 

[rainmaker]

Yes, we need gates on bicycle paths.

 

[VF21]

Blast it. I said I wasn't going to comment... ACK!

 

[Capt. Factorial]

The City gets ten tickets to each event and he's upset about that? Huh?

 

[Brac-o-matic]

"Thanks for visiting from Carmichael"- KJ

aka "Your opinion doesn't matter, you don't even live in the city"?

 

[Capt. Factorial]

KJ thanked that guy for "visiting" from Carmichael. Ooof.
