Newark woos Devils
Newark Mayor Sharpe James is reportedly close to an agreement with the New Jersey Devils to move to a new $300 million hockey arena in downtown Newark, though city council approval would still be necessary. "It's good that there's no taxpayer dollars involved," said state senate president Richard Codey of the arena project, which would, in fact, use $210 million in public money derived from the city's Newark Airport lease.
