Earlier this week on The Show, Arizona Republic columnist Laurie Roberts told us why she doesn’t think the city of Phoenix is getting a good deal in its sale of the downtown Sheraton Hotel.

David Krietor, president of Downtown Phoenix Inc., heard our conversation and wanted the chance to clarify some details.
