If you believe anything that Bennett says we’ve got a deal for you OKC!
Key Arena is available!

Watch Bennett ruin your franchise the way he has destroyed the Seattle Sonics…the Sonics will never be yours Okies….you may get some players in the green and yellow…but the Sonics are about as far away from Okies as anything in the world….Stern is a fool, Bennett is a fool, Schultz is a fool. But as good old Ron White said…”ya can’t fix stupid.”

with a Ron White shout out to the folks in yuppieville Belltown who can’t hold a candle to Southport at Renton…crawl back in your Mercedes dear…your attitude is showing. At least Renton stepped up with a proposal…what did the Queen Anne folks do? pass the bowl…cough, cough….what’s a Sonic, dude?

I wonder if the blue hairs were causing this much trouble for Phoenix 30 years ago?

Isn’t it all about a little dab of money? I had no idea when this started it would consume some, I’ve got an idea, Make it like a bet, loser commit suicide, that’s the ticket.

Red Dirt Reporter…if you’re basing a no vote on the amounts you have been hearing, those numbers are entirely bogus. See the comment I left on the Wanda Jo article.

Wanda Jo Peltier-Stapleton has made some very important points about why citizens should vote no. I was on the ‘yes’ side for a while until I found out how much each resident will have to pay annually. Oklahoma City has more pressing issues than landing a basketball team lured here via some corporate welfare scam dreamed up by rich guys. Go see the Mavs if you’re so anxious to catch some courtside antics.

What i don’t understand is why the money the Ford Center already takes in isn’t paying for the upgrades.

That is just like the government, they originally told us that the Ford center would increase growth downtown and it has, but when politicians get involved they take that extra money and spend more.

I believe that if the bond is defeated an NBA team may still be possible, politicians will just have to spend our money more wisely.

And it does not just cost you a penny, it’s about $10 per month per person for 15 months.
