Description

The city can and must get a lease negotiated and funding set this year to renovate the Moda Center arena, the editorial board writes. Grandstanding by city councilors isn't helping.

As the city prepares to negotiate a deal with the Portland Trail Blazers to fund arena renovations, Portlanders — and our city councilors — should remember there is a host of options between going nuclear and complete capitulation. The city does not need to call team owner Tom Dundon’s “bluff” nor lick his boots to reach a deal.
