Get ready for the OKLAHOMA (fill in the blank) NOT OKC

[Kerry]

Why are you so certain? Who said it would definitely, without question, be "Oklahoma City?"

You mean other than the fact they already said it would be OKC something? WHen the Hornets played here the patch said OKC. The owners are from OKC and none are from outside the OKC metro area. They all have a vested interest in branding OKC to the benefit of their respective companies. The Ford Center and practice facility was voted on and paid for by OKC residents or people visiting OKC. The state program actually doesn't contribute any state money, they just defer receiving money they currently aren't receiving.

Shall I keep going?

Kerry, Temporarily hosting the Hornets and this group owning the team are two different things. The fact it said "OKC" on the Hornets patch means nothing at this point. I ask again - who is "they said?" Link?

The state program actually doesn't contribute any state money, they just defer receiving money they currently aren't receiving.

And the difference is? One way or another it comes out of the pockets of state taxpayers. Also, you're only partially right on the way the program works.
