Examining reasons for 100% public funding of Moda Center renovations

There is a proposal to renovate it fully funded with public money – nothing put up by the private team owner. I heard some of the reasons for that from supporters, and they aren’t very good.

I went to a District 4 "listening session" today for the Moda Center renovations. CM Green was there, as was a rep from VP Clark.

The session was HEAVILY brigaded by Blazer fans who are raising the specter of losing the team and demanding we give the owner everything he wants.

CM Green says he wants to see hard numbers on econ benefits, and is supportive of putting this to voters.

If you have an opinion, now is the time to share it.

Their own numbers do not make sense, as they can only pin $60M of the diversion to #ModaCenter sports-related improvements. More info on opposition to the giveaway deal here: www.ripcitynotripoff.com #PDX #PortlandOR #PortlandOregon #ModaCenter

It's unconscionable that the city wants to raid the climate fund & community development fund to pay for #ModaCenter renovations w/out asking big private businesses that profit from it to contribute (esp. the #Trailblazers owner) Give feedback www.portland.gov/council/moda... #PDX #PortlandOR /1

If you have strong feelings about #Portland using PCEF (climate) funds on the #RoseGarden (I won't call it the #ModaCenter) or other issues around the planned remodel, the city wants your feedback. My stance is that no one intended those funds to be a slush fund to fix any other problem the city may have.

It's unconscionable that the city wants to raid the climate fund and community development fund to pay for Moda Center renovations without asking the big, private businesses that profit from it to contribute (esp. the Portland Trailblazers owner).

The city has launched a survey. You can give your feedback here:
