Dino Rossi would have kept the Sonics

 

Well, you can blame it on the Gov. Remember that next time there is an election, remember how SHE isn’t a sports fan, and is weak when it comes to making deals that can save a team. Christine Gregoire and state legislators who declined to authorize King County to use a portion of an existing tax toward the renovation project are part of the blame. Dino Rossi would NOT have let this happen.  Of course teh Stabucks guy never should sold the team in the first place, he could have gotten much more for the team , from a local owner , had he made the intention to sell public.

But short of that, the Gov and the Legislature could have saved the Sonics, and they just didn’t want them.
