Meanwhile, in Newark, New Jersey: The Newark Star-Ledger reports that the projected cost of the city's planned New Jersey Devils arena has grown "murky," with the city's written financing plan coming in at $360 million, while the team says it's only $310 million. Part of the issue: Whether to count $30 million in state improvements to roads in the area as part of the arena cost. Newark Business Administrator Richard Monteilh says the road work was scheduled even without the arena; State Sen. Paul Sarlo, whose district includes the Continental Airlines Arena where the Devils currently play, says the road work appears "completely earmarked" for the arena.
