Call your councillor. Right now.

Facebook Bill talked to Kim Wolfe today--he does in fact like the idea of having a hockey team in town. However, six unspecified city councillors--a majority of council--would have voted against the bond measure had the hockey-specific language remained in it! De-emphasizing hockey was the only thing that salvaged the arena improvements.

So since I don't know who to get a hold of, I guess we're going to have to get a hold of EVERYONE. The city council map is here. Their contact info is here (and before anyone starts complaining about posting peoples' phonenumbers, this information is readily accessible at the City of Huntington website):
