Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that the Fremont Bridge crushes a car, and KIRO TV is the only site that has any information on it?

Aside from the fact that I for one think it WOULD be a good idea to more closely scrutinize the political activities of multi-millionaires in general, the OP at Sonics Central misses the larger issue: when said multi-millionaires demand Joe and Jane Public cough up $300 million in tax subsidies for their corporate-welfare sports emporia, how said multi-millionaires choose to spend their own luchre DOES become an issue. If these guys have that much extra $$ floating around they can contribute to these kinds of political organizations, then they sure as Hell don't require a handout from the taxpayers of Washington State.
