This feels like snatching defeat from the jaws of victory to me. I go to one or two Sonics games a year, so I don't really have a dog in this fight, but this *looks* like exactly the kind of majority-private/minority-public funding deal that would have sailed through had it been offered earlier. I mean, it seems like the city held firm, got a great offer, and now can't take advantage. Too bad.

I think Gregoire not taking Ballmer and Co's money could be her undoing.

Personally, I won't miss the game-night traffic.
