Gov. Gregoire's statement on settlement
By Office of the Governor
Gov. Chris Gregoire on Wednesday issued the following statement on the negotiated settlement between the city of Seattle and the ownership of the SuperSonics:
"Like all Sonics fans, I am very disappointed that the team is leaving Seattle. While it is a sad day for the city and region, I am pleased that the agreement keeps the Sonics history and brand in Seattle, and leaves open the possibility of an NBA team locating in the city. I am heartened by the news that the NBA is committed to helping the local ownership group led by Steve Ballmer bring a basketball team to Seattle, and that it believes the KeyArena is a viable stadium for that team. Now it's time for the state Legislature to get to work." |
