Laurie Roberts isn't a reporter. She's a cranky columnist. I often agree with her, especially on educational issues, but she doesn't know how and when to take a break from outrage. When you're mad about everything all the time, it's hard to be taken seriously when anger is genuinely the appropriate response. No doubt there are aspects of the arena deal that need to be re-examined, but I suspect Roberts would find a way to be opposed no matter how it is restructured.
