About a week ago I posted about former Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams' attempts to arrange for an AHL team for St. John's. At the time the province's refusal to provide a $500 000 subsidy seemed likely to sink the proposal.
Amazingly, about a week later Williams seemed to have come up with a new deal that would see the team re-locate to St. John's without the public money.
Is it just me or was that turnaround fast?
Also, is Danny Williams not the guy who criticized the current provincial government for not taking the time to properly analyze the proposal? I get the sense that he is not drawing attention to the fact that it seems that he didn't really take that much time to run the numbers in the first place if just a week ago the project was only possible with public money and now it is not.
I am curious to see how many more curious developments are associated with this story as the final details relating to the re-location of the team are settled.
