"(Chris) Lehane (executive director of the Think Big Executive Committee) wouldn't comment on what Burkle's current involvement is, but said Burkle (who has expressed interest in purchasing the Kings) is keeping an eye on things in Sacramento. The bottom line for now, however, is the team still under different ownership, he said."
"Lehane also said Mayor Kevin Johnson has had "positive and constructive talks" with AEG, one of the leading sports and entertainment companies in the world."
"...what that plan will look like is still underdetermined, but could include several funding sources such as an increase in hotel/rental car taxes and additional fees for tickets and parking at events at Power Balance Pavilion."
"The committee is attempting to steer clear of any sales tax increase."
