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.

In particular, she thinks the city is attempting to put a positive spin on a money-loser, saying that the private buyer has actually lowered its bid.

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

EDITOR'S NOTE: This headline has been modified to correct the spelling of Sheraton.
