Sonics | OKC mayor wants vote to overhaul Ford Center

SEATTLE - Clay Bennett called OKC Mayor Mick Cornett a visionary for his plan to hold a public vote on a 1 cent sales tax to pay for a $100 million dollar remodel of the Ford Center before the league votes on Bennett's request to relocate.
1. Good luck selling a one cent tax vote to remodel an arena without knowing if they will have a team to fill it. For some time we've heard the great and wonderous things OKC can do. Bennett has said that he would need a new arena in OKC, but a remodel is visionary? WTF!
2. Bennett has decided that he wants to move, but moving is not up to him. That explains that voting thing.
3. Bennett has yet to meet with the mayor of Seattle, and has dismissed without explination anything to do with the Key Arena site, explain that to the other owners.
4. If Seattle can provide a better source of revenue, OKC might not get the votes.
5. Welcome your 2009-10 OKC Hornets!

Have a great day,
Mr. Baker
