An Unexpected Legislative Success

[msmercenary]

I've got to give the Washington Legislature credit. Sometimes, in their blundering around, they manage to not completely screw things up.

I refer, of course, to the act of not giving away $300M of taxpayer money to a private company with no strings attached.

I've been hoping that the departure of the Sonics would open the door to an NHL team coming to Seattle at some point. But while the maturity levels of the players tend to be wildly different, the economics are still the same: if a sports team is moving, they'll go where they can get the city/state to pay for as much of their costs as possible. And other cities around the country have been willing enough to do so that there's no harm to the teams to ask for handouts. So I'm not holding my breath.
