i'm more pessimistic then i was 2 months ago... any chance of these measures passing has long come & gone. point the finger at blame at whomever you want, there is plenty to go around.
to not have a signed MOU, to not have a detailed model/display of what the new arena would look like, to not have a daily barrage of ads (print, radio, tv), to not be so vocal and public in their efforts (maloofs), well basically way too little way too late.
honestly, i can't blame the votes who vote no because they just didn't get enough detailed, consistent, and accurate information. too much public "well it could go here, might be a problem with the railyard, etc etc"...its hard to blame the generic voter for just saying "no" because they don't have enough information, not that they are all anti-sports or anti-kings.
really, this is a HUGE decision for the county of sacto and to try and cram it down voter's in 30 days is just retarted PR.
course that's just my opinion, i could be wrong (and hope to be).
