Grant Napear is predicting 8-1 final vote to accept. At worse he says 7-2 with 9-0 a nice but probably remote possibility. GO SACRAMENTO!

I saw an empty seat on the City Council I am enjoying this broadcast because they are taking it step by step. Good learning tool!

To me, they will always be one in the same

 

[Gary]

Wow the last two people are total idiots.

Completely agree. Your going to sue are you serious? "Oh I care about the Kings but we will sue??? Older you get, more set in your ways you get. Especially that lady!

 

[Gary]

Those two lawyers are shills that were hired most likely.

 

[HereWeStay]

im thinking the vote goes 6-3..this dude is gay who is talking now( not that theres anything wrong with that)

 

[Gary]

I wish Positive Dave were still alive. I would love to hear his take.

 

[Gary]

Is this "opposition" time to speak or something? Dang.. These people are so uninformed, I have to mute it.

 

[butteredbiscuit]

Older people are always going to be against making themselves step out of the box. Not like they will be alive anyways...

Gary, they ARE AFRAID OF CHANGE. CHANGE IS GOOD BUILDING SOMETHING NEW. I was reading and some people in Seattle wanted to remodel the key arena even though Stern said he wants a new arena! Sorry about caps. They arent informed about what is going on but if you notice, they are afraid!!!

 

[HereWeStay]

i think they should set the age limit to 50 or younger

 

[jaysoonii]

I wish 258$ million was spent on my highschool basketball team

 

[lwc]

Sounds like it could be a lot closer vote than we hoped.

 

[HereWeStay]

people do have a point, schools are closing jobs are closing and the city is spending 225 million on a arena? that can go to schools.yeah the city will be making 7 million a year from the arena but still, we got to make sure our children have the best education and learning tools available.

I don tthink so. As long as it passes, that is what is most important! many people are going to be against it. I know for a fact that more money, more opposition.

 

[Gary]

I like Bill.

Agreed. I was referring to people stating it coukd be 7-2 or 8-1

daves wife is talking lulz... shes pretty hot

 

[Gary]

Why did they do the "jazz hands" after the last speaker?

 

[butteredbiscuit]

LOL! She knows her stuff. Man, I have to give her credit for letting her husband go for a month. I do admit though they should have not let CD leave KHTK though

that argument is such a load of crock

Anytime someone disagrees with something in the political world the status quo is to "think of the children!!!"

Do you or anyone else honestly believes that $ will go to the schools if it doesnt go to X?

It has been proven time and time again that whenever something is rejected in the political world in an effort to think of the children, the good old jolly public schools still keep on getting ****tier and funding is still misappropriated.

So, Sacramento has been "thinking of the children" for nearly a decade already by not building an arena and look at how that's turned out...."thinking" of the children once again.

This argument assumes the parking spaces are worth $225 million if no downtown arena is built. Well, there are not. I'm sure they are worth significantly less. So the city would be taking a significant hit on the value of the parking space and using that to make a one time investment into schools. And the general fund? What exactly would you use to replace it with?
