Yea, now I wish I was paying more attention and could remember all the details. Poor girl had to repeat everything like 5 times. But she called at a bad time and I was distracted. 
In theory, I don't think the tax increase would be a big deal. I think the major issues that have and will continue to face those involved in this issue is the autmoatic negative connotation attached to "tax increase" (and rightfully so) and a large amount of the public thinking of this as a "kings issue." You watch the news or hear a report on the radio and its presented as a "new areana for the Kings," and so people think its just for them and only them. This poll that I participated in did a good job to present it as a "downtown arena" only associated with the county of Sacramento.
I really do believe that something will get done by tomorrows deadline and at the present time, I would be in favor of it. However, upon further research on its direct affects on the city and me as a resident of the couny of Sacramento I might have think more about the issue. I want the Kings to stay, there is no doubt about that but its a matter of weighing the pros and cons and trying my best to formulate what I believe would the outcome 5-10 years from now becasue I think that is how you have look at a major issue like this. Sure, that increase in sales tax might not look good now, but maybe in 10 years when the downtown is thriving and the city is thriving it might be worth it.
