Seattle City Council wants to keep the Sonics
So, the Seattle City Council took a vote today to show their support behind keeping the team in Seattle at least until the current lease is up in 2010 (though the mayor had already indicated that he would be doing this).
Of course, this is the same council who's president stated last year that the Sonics leaving Seattle would have close to zero cultural impact. Here's to at least a few years of ugliness until the Sonics leave. . .or hopefully stay in Seattle.
