<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Mayor Buddy Dyer has been trying to convince Orange County officials that his plan to build a new arena for the Orlando Magic is a good one, but he found some other tough critics of the deal Thursday -- on his own City Council. When the Orlando mayor presented his proposed agreement with the Magic to the council Thursday, one city commissioner called it "half-baked," and two others said they wouldn't vote for it unless he adds more convenient parking for average fans. The City Council was not asked to vote on the agreement, which lays out how the cost of building and running the $480 million arena would be shared. A vote was in Dyer's original plan, but late Wednesday he delayed it after county officials said a decision would be premature. Dyer said he'll bring the agreement for a vote Jan. 22. In the meantime, city staffers and Magic representatives will meet with county officials to talk about the county's concerns. County Mayor Rich Crotty has said he wants to make sure taxpayers won't be subsidizing the arena's operations or paying for costly upgrades years in the future.</div> Source
