Sonic Bust?
I just got off the phone with Rep. Jim McIntire’s office. McIntire (D-46, North Seattle) is sponsoring the Sonics legislation on the House side. (There’s a Senate companion bill being sponsored by Sen. Margarita Prentice (D-11, S. and W. Seattle, International District, Burien, and Tukwila.)
While there’s a lot of intriguing back and forth going on between the city and the county over control of the revenue stream and wether or not the Sonics should put some money on the table, it might not even get that far in the House. Asked about rumors that the bill might die, McIntire’s office was pretty candid: “I’d say that it looks dead.”
Hopefully, I’ll get an updated assessment from McIntire himself later today
Schultz can put a shitty coffee shop on every corner in the world, but he can't put an imposing center in the paint for the supes. I say we call his bluff just on principle.
