For the first time, HRM residents will weigh in on a proposed outdoor stadium.
But Coun. Sue Uteck said she only expects to see special-interest groups during an open house tonight. 
“Hopefully we’ve done enough PR so people know the meetings are happening, but it’s going to be vested interests that are going to be coming,” she said. “I won’t expect any new players on the scene.”

Does Sue Uteck ever read the HRM polls that show that the majority favour a stadium? Apparently only her opinion matters.
I think anyone planning to attend the open house, and all who would like to attend but can't should feel insulted by such a comment. Apparently everyone attending has a vested interest - way to go Sue Utech, you just insulted many thousands of people in the HRM who support a stadium. Does it ever occur to her that other people really want good things for the municipality - apparently only she has any integrity!
