This editorial in the Seattle Times urged voters to vote "no" on Initiative-91, saying that it "...would create a restraint to business made worse by allowing individuals residents to legally challenge any stadium deal." A new ownership team led by Clay Bennett bought the Seattle SuperSonics at aound this time. According to the newspaper, "The new ownership says it wants to find a way to improve KeyArena or build somewhere else in the region, such as Renton or Bellevue. I-91 would ensure that the SuperSonics leave their home of 40 years for the Eastside or Oklahoma City. That would be a real loss for Seattle Center."
