Dear Kevin Johnson, Mayor, Angelique Ashby, City Councilwoman, Sandy Sheedy, City Coucilwoman, Steve Cohn, City

Councilmember, Robert Fong, City Coucilmember, Jay Schenirer, City Councilmember, Kevin McCarty, City Councilmember, Darrell Fong, City Councilmember, Bonnie Pannell, City Councilmember, and John Shirey, City Manager, We are pleased to present you with this petition affirming one simple statement: "We, the concerned citizens of Sacramento, California, demand that our elected leaders not commit scarce public resources towards the construction of a Downtown arena, in accordance with our previous wishes as proven with the resounding defeat of Measures Q & R in 2006. At this time in our city's history, we know that we can ill-afford the leveraging of public property for up to 50 years just to build an arena for an elite few. As we face a multi-year budget crisis, as we lay off police officers and firefighters, as we shrink further our parks staff and close city pools, we would rather see any use of public resources go to the restoration of those services before they go to help millionaires that lost their family fortune in Las Vegas. We are not the "nay-sayers"; we are the stewards of our home city, and we know that the road out of the current mess our community is facing is not the further use of exotic lending schemes nor the rosy promises of out-of-town developers. Fix the pipes that deliver our water, fix the roads we need to drive every day to get to work and home again, focus on the schools where our children go to learn and dream of a better future. Quit spending all of your time pandering to the disillusions you spew in the media and get back to doing the people's work." Attached is a list of individuals who have added their names to this petition, as well as additional comments written by the petition signers themselves. Sincerely, Sacramento Citizen

NO Arena on Sacramento dollars! julia beckner Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Josette Weaver Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Daniel Schmidt Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 No publicly-financed arena!!!! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO Debbie Jolly Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 John K Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Chris Jensen Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 I apose this waiste of our limited resorses and want you to find an alternative solution to fit ALL of Sacramento. Steven Millington North Highlands, CA Mar 6, 2012 Hey Mayor Where is the tent city YOU promised?? Liar!!!!Tell the (Queens)owners to pay for those losers to leave Sacramento!!!And you go with them!! Judith Cordill Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012

We should be funding public pools and parks not an arena. Privatizing parking is a horrible idea, too. We should support the real heros of Sacramento: teachers, firefighters, police officers and park staff. Let the millionaires fund their own projects. Public funds should benefit the public, not the sports team owners. Marie Galgani Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Melissa Lienau Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 It would be a crime to fund a huge venture like the arena, when vital services to the public are being cut because of the cities budget shortfall. Tony Lopez Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Laura Virginia Bellini Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Cameron Harris Bend, OR Mar 6, 2012 JOHN F. BOWMAN Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 1) Arnold Schwarzeneger finally agreed to budget negotiations after adding a no-environmental check clause for the railyard. The railyard is toxic!! 2) We voted to not use public money for the arena. Who and What will miss the money removed from the parking profits to pay for the arena? Police, Fire perhaps? 3) Speaking of parking downtown, where will the crowds park? 4) Construction is a temporary economic fix - is the Council both blind and stupid? 5) Increase property values? Really? Provide prove of an area where this really happened. Residential housing downtown is screwed! Francene Phillips Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Alexandria Lokteff Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Michael Edwards Sacramento, CA 3

Mar 6, 2012 While keeping a major sports team in the area would be a boost for the city itself, the idea of an arena who's construction funds would come from the people without the peoples say is a travesty. What gives the Mayor the right to hand over our taxes that could be used for the community to those who can afford a Casino and a basketball franchise? Also the outrageous prices on seating , food and parking has stopped me from seeing events at ARCO. I have been to a few Kings game myself and while I was entertained the cost to my pocket wasn't worth the lines, parking and rude people that these events bring. Will this project bring jobs, yes but only to those who are skilled in constructing Arenas. After the building phase is over the increase to jobs in the area my be minimal at best in my opinion. Also this isn't going to be a boost on the downtown economy, it will be a drain to small businesses. The damage that will be caused after basketball games by intoxicated fans and the mayhem that alcohol already fuels in our downtown area is going to be a major problem for local businesses and I won't be surprised that many will close after a few incidents. Look what's happened to 2 nd Saturday, you think that this type of violence won't be increasing if a Major Sports Arena is allowed in downtown Sacramento. I hate to say it but todays basketball culture will turn downtown Sacramento into a place of Violence and predatory behavior on game nites. Efrain Fernandez Carmichael, CA Mar 6, 2012 Elmer Hill Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 We _have_ an arena. The public funds that are proposed to be directed at a new arena should be going towards revitalizing our transit system and finish the extension of RT towards the current arena and the airport. This will enable more commerce, lower traffic congestion (especially during games) and provide more flexible schedules for those of us who rely on public transportation. Also, there's nothing wrong with the current arena. Why aren't there plans to make it more easily accessible and to actually attract more business to it? Erik Schorr Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Arlene Trompczynski Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Please use public monies that will bring services to the public. Shari Beck Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012

You can come up with the $250 million by taking a relatively small percentage from the team's players and management, as well as the billionaire owners. Why is the city paying for most of the new arena? Don't these funds NEED to go elsewhere? Tim K Citrus Heights, CA Mar 6, 2012 Molly Messner Carmichael, CA Mar 6, 2012 Taija Douglas Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Jessi Knobelock Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Allison Davis, CA Mar 6, 2012 Chester Rich Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Jim Williams Fair Oaks, CA Mar 6, 2012 Kelly Ortiz Carmichael, CA Mar 6, 2012

DO NOT let Kevin Johnson deceive us (and Kevin, I know you can read this)! Most of the city may not be aware, but those who were involved with Sacramento High School before it became the St. Hope Academy know that the school was run into the ground so that the experimental charter could be established. Those who were involved with the school both before and after know that it was THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN to that poor school. Kevin then promptly dissolved ties with the school and claimed to have helped when he, in fact, did the opposite. PUBLIC funds should be used for PUBLIC things such as our PUBLIC parks, libraries, museums, etc. Unless the new stadium is part of the PUBLIC and we get to use it as such, I see no reason for us to use the tax dollars that come from our own pockets to fund a stadium that will earn money for TWO greedy brothers. Gavin Rieser Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Tamara Geary Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 ed sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Ellen Broms Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Sondra Dillon Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Public monies should not be committed for a sports arena which has already been proven not to be sustainable. Minneapolis is used as an example of a city similar in size to Sacramento that has a professional sportsteam. However, it is referred to as Minneapolis-St Paul because it has nearby large cities that help to sport the team with attendance. Sacramento has no such large cities nearby and our income level and populace cannot support such indebtedness. It only takes one City Council and one Mayor to lead a city into bankruptcy, please, don't leave that as your legacy to public service.

Ana Jaime El Macero, CA Mar 6, 2012 Absolutely--let the 1% finance their own arena--and thus, hopefully, give back to a community which has given them so much. Stephanie Tucker Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Union Civica Primero de Mayo believes that is unfair to take public resources for private enterprises, whether is privatizing schools, parks or parking systems, the affected are the working people and those that benefit the most are the wealthy. Pramo Hernndez Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Wendy Hermes Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 This is corporate welfare. We are bailing out the Magoofs who are broke. As a result services like park and rec and public safety will be starved. This is another transfer of wealth from the 99 percent to the one percent Bruce Pomer Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Clark Paramo Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 William Powers Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Seth Sandronsky Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Tom kurth Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012

Do not give away scant city resources! The masses that can not afford the luxury of sports tickets need to be served and not serve the wealthy that can. Subsidizing the sports arena and Maloofs is corporate welfare. They still owe the city millions which no one seems to have the courage to collect. Linda Tuttle Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Molly Wright Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Mike Davis Meridian, ID Mar 6, 2012 Anna Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Ann Lang Boise, ID Mar 6, 2012 Andrea Havelaar Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Mike Avina Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Dalia Navarro Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Frederic Vincent Davis, CA Mar 6, 2012 Olin Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012

The Kings, even if they were winners instead of losers, will not add prestige to the region. Watching them is fun. Those who enjoy that-- across the entire region-- are the ones who should pony up if they think it is worth it. Richard Seyman Davis, CA Mar 6, 2012 cynthia gatlin sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 There are homeless starving people, and you want Basketball?!?!?!?!? Edward Roselle Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 When will elected officials realize that EDUCATION is the most important gift we can give our children? why cut public funds to schools if the next generation can't even read or do math so they can purchase tickets and earn income at jobs to pay for those tickets? Extremely shortsighted of our elected officials. Elaine Wlton, CA Mar 6, 2012 Diana Martinez Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Crystal spencer Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Potholes in the streets, police service limited, streets are dirty, health clinics closing, poor public services and we are going to build an arena for the few who would attend with our precious funds? Please reconsider and place your focus on the true needs of our beloved Sacramento. Julie Theriault Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Christine Thomas Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Joseph Lawlor Davis, CA 9

Mar 6, 2012 Tennille Finnegan elk grove, CA Mar 6, 2012 It would be easier if you vote NO. At a minimum this must go to a public vote!

Nadell Gayou Orangevale, CA Mar 6, 2012 Caitlin Garner Carmichael, CA Mar 6, 2012 I oppose a municipally funded sports complex. I further oppose a mayor and city council that are pushing this plan in direct conflict with voters. Do not sell off City assets and raid the general fund for an arena.

City of Sacramento Councilmemers and County of Sacramento Board of Supervisors my conjecture is that your fiduciary responsibilities do not include the dictatorship of approving 390 million dollars on an 2012 AD Sacramento Kings Arena i.e., 264 BC Roman Empire Gladiators Arena, "gaming kings" in anamphitheater at not only the human sacrifices of our children, adolescences, young and older adults, early and late elders and honorable centerians tax dollars being squandered for the mere minority of screaming elites to tickle their fantasies as our children sacrifice not having art, music appreciation and physical education classes suspended; where adolesences sacrifice the fate of seeing their young and adult parents and early and late elder grandparents face the 21st Century Dream of USA homeownership turn in to thy Nightmare of Homelessness; where our centerians die on the streets, alleys and store fronts, because their social security benefits do not afford adequate housing for homeless is NOT democracy ~ it is abuse of power, abuse of fiduciary responsibility ~ and abuse against the more-than-human community too for pouring money in to building an elaborate concrete structure with plush seats that contains a special room for city executives to invite their favorite politicos' to a festive game at no cost at the sacrifice of CA 289 threatened and endangered animal and plant species www.endangeredspecie.com is not wholly cultivating ECOZOIC ERA 2012AD ~ does not compute to Sacramento leaders counsels' abiding equal constitutional status to the Sacramento community ~ because your duties do not include being "Rulers" and we the majority are not living to boast a new "Golden Age" as Commodus declared "new Romulus" i.e., "new Sacramento." Moreover, our Wholly Sacramento land, the formerly named, Holy Sacramento River, her people, plants and animals are deserving are fitting authentic living plebeians protesting the City of Sacramento and County of Sacramento establishment of plebeian tribunate against the recasting of the 509BC rape of of Tarquin upon Lucretia ~ I.e., being ravished by the hands of those who claim Ego-centric liberty to the state devouring Eco-soul centric nourishment too their constituents beings' including animals and plant species. And do not get me started on privatizing sole source parking Gestapo / Mafia money laundering all for the sake of pandering elites need to fill their empty abyss via negativa screaming as their eyes revel in jousting as others lay outside the arena being arrested for camping, which was how Sacramento pioneers came to establish the City and County of Sacramento. Deborah Jane Rafter Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 The Maloofs are taking us for a ride. I don't care about basketball especially a last place team whose owners resort to blackmail to make money. We need places to play sports not to sit and watch 'professionals' do it on TV. Michael Dangermond Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 This is one of the most significant decisions in some years. A wrong turn can mean even more cuts in services, and bankruptcy a la Stockton and Vallejo is not as remote as it might seem. Please do not squander our assets for speculative sport developers. I am 72 mortgage free and am worried about increases in my water and sewer charges for the next decade. Will I be able to keep my mortgage free home? I just don't know. james cathcart SACRAMENTO, CA Mar 6, 2012

Kenya Spearman Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 Elected city officials who support and vote for this arena deal should not be re-elected. Matter of fact, there should be an organized effort to make sure they are not re-elected because they are betraying the trust of the taxpayers and the people who elected them. Even a Basketball fan such as myself who is not against the idea of the Kings playing in a new arena, must admit, that the procurement of an arena and the tethering of the Kings to Sacramento is not what we elect a mayor or city council to do. Nor is the arena/Kings issue an urgent priority that is reflective of the needs of most people in the city and Sacramento County. Elected city officials who support taking taxpayer money, public monies to build this sports arena are in this case, artfully twisting and shifting the focus of their sworn governmental duties to that of oversight of the privately held Sacramento Kings NBA Franchise. Are Sacramento taxpayers willing to pay out hundreds of millions of dollars to build a sports arena that will be of financial benefit to just a few private wealthy interests? Will tax payers do this when quite possibly their own family members and/or neighbors, Sacramento county's poor and working people who need and receive government taxpayer funded "grants" or financial assistance must pay back every penny from their minimum wages? Will tax payers allow this when they are told that vital public services must be cut or suspended due to lack of money? Given these tough economic times of sufferings and sacrifices, school closures and job furloughs, will taxpayers allow their elected city officials to "gift" hundreds of millions of their tax dollars to private wealthy interests to build a sports complex? Is this what these city officials who are paid with taxpayer monies elected to do? If your answer is no, then come election time, don't vote for the city officials who vote for this arena deal. Start now considering other candidates to take their elected office. Ama Hetepunuta Sacramento, CA Mar 6, 2012 We do not need to bankrupt our city with unneeded infrastructure.

It's a lie that this arena would bring much needed jobs to the area. The truth is that all the good jobs that have been taken away by the government deciding that human services aren't important and that the arts aren't important and state jobs aren't important. What we need is to shift our priorities to what counts: people in need, education, rehabilitation of what we already have downtown- awesome buildings that stand in near ruin taking up space when we could spend next to nothing to fix it up and make a shelter out of it. It should be a crime to allow blocks of unused buildings lie stagnant while there are no emergency winter shelters and now an arena? Yeah, I'd feel real good about myself eating a $15 hotdog at a "maybe Kings" game while a stepped over 3 homeless people on my way back to the parking garager before I drive back to Rocklin.

If you understand why Sacramento is different from other major cities you know we work hard to get along with each other. This issue has been the most divisive I have ever seen. Most upsetting is that leaders who claim to have the best interests of our City at heart are apparently the most clueless to this intangible but unique shared value. It takes creativity and leadership to hold us together. What we have here is misguided, desperate, and in service to the wealthy at the expense of everyone else. The richest have resources and are better able to undertake "risk". Here we have the rich avoiding risk and manipulating public opinion to risk "other peoples money" -- taxpayer's money. The City will never be the same and I am not angry but sad. Whatever the outcome, the taxpayers of Sacramento are on the hook and that sound you hear is a huge rip in heart of our common wealth. ron cooper sacramento, CA Mar 5, 2012 Alice Bauman Sacramento, CA Mar 5, 2012 Adriane Sahmaunt Sacramento, CA Mar 5, 2012 jim hensley sacramento, CA Mar 5, 2012 Rob Fong--you are my councilman---please vote NO on this proposal.

The City purchased the land on which the arena is being located for $52 million and are conisidering purchasing as additionl parcel lot 40. The city is also considering selling other City land during this period of depressed values to fund to arena.This is an appparently desparate effort to same a team owned by a family with failing assests and an uncertain future.

No thank you! Let the Maloof's foot the bill. Sabrina LeVene Sacramento, CA Mar 5, 2012 Mayor Johnson needs to pay attention to the real issues in Sacramento that require funds more than a new arena during our current budget crisis. No new arena until our social and civil problems are solved. Denise Ross Sacramento, CA Mar 5, 2012 Laura Mullen Sacramento, CA Mar 5, 2012 Laying off teachers and demonizing public schools while paying lackluster athletes 10 million dollars a year to play a game poorly is already a disaster in motion. Building a billion dollar homage to this sad state of affairs could ruin the city of Sacramento forever. Skye D Sacramento, CA Mar 5, 2012 Christina Sacramento, CA Mar 5, 2012 In light of the current budget crisis, hungry & homeless children, poverty, cut backs in our public servants, police and firefighters, the City has more critical challenges than funding a new arena.

As a Public Health Nurse, I am concerned that healthcare has been cut and put on the back burner for too long. don't use public funds for such silliness!

Sacramento, CA Mar 5, 2012 joan Cochrane Sacramento, CA Mar 5, 2012 Public money should benefit public purposes - education, arts, parks, social services, libraries, sports programs, even basics like sewage. The Bee argues that we should "commit significant public resources with the hope it becomes a catalyst for rail yard development. If it doesn't, it will stir considerable disappointment." How weak! If we want rail yard development, invest in that rather than turning our public treasury over to billionaires and wannabe politicians in hopes that some of that might trickle back to us. Craig Rieser Sacramento, CA Mar 5, 2012 Evan Drath Sacramento, CA Mar 5, 2012 A world class city isn't based on whether or not it has a professional ball club. It's based on schools, infrastructure, libraries, etc. The Maloofs will probably be filing bankruptcy. What happens to the millions they owe the City of Sacramento at that time? This is a no-win situation for Sacramento and it's citizens. How about concentrating on what the city REALLY needs? Eleanor H. McPherson Roseville, CA Mar 5, 2012 Christine Luman Elk Grove, CA Mar 5, 2012 The Kings is the Maloff's toy, let them build their own arena !! The City reduced the Police, Fire fighters and now there is more crime than ever before, and now you want to throw the Parking employees under the bus for some arena, you should be ashamed of yourselves !! This money needs to stay inside the City, apply it to the City needs, and not be handed to the Maloff's, they have not repaid the City back for the existing arena, and now you want to give them more !! This is not the way City officials are supposed to manage a great City, this is not how your supposed to treat it's employees who have worked for years, believing that they will have security and look forward to retirement, this is what they get for working hard ! Shame on you, you don't see any other City doing this and why, because it's not good business !! Cynthia Nabors Lincoln, CA Mar 5, 2012 paul malelu Sacramento, CA Mar 5, 2012 30

Yvette Ernst West Sacramento, CA Mar 5, 2012 Dane Henas Sacramento, CA Mar 5, 2012 Please donnot sell away city sevices to finance a Millionaires toy.

Patricia Kuhn Sacramento, CA Mar 5, 2012 Eric Perryman Sacramento, CA Mar 5, 2012 I simply cannot accept the fact that you have forgotten the people who gave you this job and you are not looking out for their best interest, I think Arco Arena is adequate. Wanda Daniels Sacramento, CA Mar 5, 2012 I would suppont an arena if an independent assessment could be made that guaranteed that the arena would pay for itself and provide a revenue stream that would support parks and libraries without placing a burden on other resources - traffic flows, etc. in addition, it would need to provide a freeway bypass between Cal Expo and I 5 to relieve and handle the excess traffic. Michael Welsch Sacramento, CA Mar 5, 2012 Please do not waste our precious funds on this arena project at this time! We do not have the resources to build this project let alone all the additional resources ($$$$$$$) to support the infrastructure that is required to get this land ready to build an arena, ie, sewer, roads, rail, to name a few!

There is no way that the supposed sources for general fund back fill can in reality back fill the general fund loss of the 9.5 million the city now gets annually from parking revenues. Most of the back fill comes from very uncertain and speculative revenues from the arena itself and surrounding parking which may never materialize in sufficient amounts to provide a reliable backfill, especially considering that the Kings will have to borrow even more. If the Kings borrow their contribution, they will be even less able than they are now to field a competitive team that can inspire attendance. Most folks --faced with ticket surcharges and parking surcharges--will just decide their families are better off sta ying home in front of the big TV screen. No need to pay for parking and the home made appetizers are better and cheaper. Opponents of the arena are not naysayers. They just have a more creative and more reality based vision for a vibrant downtown.There are so many less expensive, less risky and more imaginative projects that could be put in the railroads and along the riverfront that would do a better job of bringing recreation and entertainment and, yes, economic renewal, night and day than a hulk of an arena typically used only at night and only by those who can afford basketball tickets which--with all those surcharges etc. will become unaffordable for most residents. Jan Rein Sacramento, CA Mar 4, 2012 Please stop! Do not use public resources to build an arena for the Kings.

Annette Emery Sacramento, CA Mar 4, 2012 An arena is bogus. Not wanted or needed. There are tons of other priorities. Let the private interests BUY their own properties.

Theresa Sutton Elk Grove, CA Mar 4, 2012 There are too many unknowns about the financing of the arena. Based on the experience of other cities, it is much more likely that, instead of increasing the general fund, the arena costs will be a continuing drain, causing even deeper cuts in public services in order to maintain a facility that benefits wealthy corporations and individuals. Stop this madness now. janet vining sacramento, CA Mar 4, 2012 ron hottinger newark, OH Mar 4, 2012 The majority voted against using Public Funds in 2006.

Kevin Johnson's leadership is disappointing. There are many significant gains Sacramento could have made had he not been mayor. Our schools suffer too. He is unconcerned with issues that are important to city citizens and unabashedly imposes his moraless value system despite the will of the people. He is the first politician I have ever encountered that publically protested animal abuse protection measures. If Sacramento citizens by majority want to fund this, then we should do it without the influence of Johnson to keep it fair. But this issue will not be put to a vote and it should be. That is the main issue Sacramentans are upset with. We have no voice in mortgaging our future. Hopefully with this petition the city counsel will consider such an option. Carrie Camarena Sacramento, CA Mar 4, 2012 Hey Mayor, I am one of those who will be paying for this.

I hope you had a chance to review the official accounting of expenses and revenues since 2007. I can understand if have been too busy to review these reports. My understanding of these reports is that in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, the City of Sacramento reported $923,652,000 in revenue and $767,407,00 in expenses. In contrast, the unaudited report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 shows $785,182,00 in revenues and $801,018,000 in expenses. Over this four-year period, the City of Sacramento saw at 15% decrease in revenues and a 4% increase in expenses. For more detail, visit http://www.cityofsacramento.org/finance/accounting/reporting.cfm . The City of Sacramento and its government can be justly proud of its efforts to control expenses during this period of declining revenues. As you know, this was a period of poor economic performance due to factors above and beyond the control of local and state governments. Although I wish I could state that the period of economic weakness is behind us, in fact any attempt to predict the future must include a statement of the considerable uncertainty about the economy of the U.S. With this in mind, the future revenues of the City of Sacramento are also considerably uncertain. Because of the uncertainty of future revenues of the City of Sacramento, I must urge caution when considering construction of new entertainment complexes. In my opinion, residents primarily want good police and fire services from their city government and after that they want good libraries and parks. Undertaking new expenses could threaten good police and fire services if the general economy fails to improve. For these reasons, I urge you to oppose construction of new entertainment complexes. steve lerman sacramento, CA Mar 4, 2012 Jillynn molina Sacramento, CA Mar 4, 2012 We can never make in sales taxes what this project will cost us.

the City of Sacramento should be without a debt, and the Kings' owners should pay the load they have from the City of Sacramento before any more is done to build an arena.

Kathleen Green Sacramento, CA Mar 3, 2012 The NBA "Business Model" for coercing cities to build Arenas is "EXTORTION" . . . and has been correctly called this in two recent Op-Ed columns (written by the same person) in the Sacramento BEE. Because the outcomes of such financings almost always end up having the city left "holding the bag," (the Maloofs still owe approx. $70 million on the public financing for the existing Arena) this EXTORTION business model must cease NOW!!!

Use the money to keep parks and recreation open not build an arena Brandon Sacramento, CA Mar 3, 2012 Eleanor Taniguchi Sacramento, CA Mar 3, 2012 If this were a sound business venture, there would be ample private investors. It is a scam to Sacramento taxpayers that we will apparently have NO choice about. Sam Senteney Sacramento, CA Mar 3, 2012 Janet Kurnick Sacramento, CA Mar 3, 2012 If things do not pan-out the way you expect, you will cause our city to go into bankruptcy or this will fall on the tax payers. The wealthy elite will step aside and let us take the hit. People in Sacramento do NOT have that kind of money to pay for expensive show tickets. Renovate the current Arena, it's cheaper. Carmen Lugo Sacramento, CA Mar 3, 2012 I have already signed this and think it needs to be put out there. since we the people are not allowed to vote on this, the least we can do is have a petition.

I believe that the arena could be an asset to Sacramento and the downtown, but if it will produce the returns that promoters claim, then private investors and businesses should invest their dollars in it and claim the monetary rewards as they do in other investments. No public dollars should be used because there are too few dollars available and too many other existing and looming needs. Dale Kooyman Sacramento, CA Mar 3, 2012 The specter of Stockton's possible bankruptcy is haunting and should serve as a warning to Sacramento's leaders Don Knutson Sacramento, CA Mar 3, 2012 Simon Dell Sacramento, CA Mar 3, 2012 We've already voted on this!

David Harpe Sacramento, CA Mar 2, 2012 Build an Arena... We have an arena. Build a rail system to the Arena we already have and then keep it going to the Airport.

The city of Sacramento deserves better than to be stripped of services. Our community and emergency services are certainly more important than professional sports don't you think? Pete Bramson Sacramento, CA Mar 2, 2012 The first consideration of the railyard should be the rail users, commuters, tourists and the internodal facility: ;future rail. Green up! Get smart. Not back to the 50;s. Look at Portland and Seattle. No tax money for the stated reasons. This should be citizen decisions, not developers. 50 yr.? Insane. put thousands of people in cars right off I 5. More insanity. . If they just have to have an arena rebuild it on the property they own and many problems would be solved. This totally sticks: the Moloofs already owe 67 million to the city. I agree with the statement of this con side of petition. We need to unite to stop this. Jerry Ann Campbell Shingle Springs, CA Mar 2, 2012 Very opposed to the City using our resources to fund the arena without our say.

Ivy Glasgow Sacramento, CA Mar 2, 2012 This is not the time to use much needed money for something related to serving a limited portion of the community. Few citizens have excess funds to attend games or other events. Schools are deplorable and cuts to law enforcement very stressful. Joan Beach Sacramento, CA Mar 2, 2012 Sports arena math does not add up. Most communities that do this do not experience the economic gains touted by Arena proponents.

Bad idea, bad timing. BRIAN LEVENE Sacramento, United States Mar 1, 2012 I support a downtown entertainment complex but not on the backs of City of Sacramento residents.

Steve McClurg Sacramento, CA Mar 1, 2012 This is the worst possible time to think about building a sports arena. It is bad enough we have to cut back on education on artistic an intellectual subjects, subjects which deserve much more attention than sports. Just to make ends meet, we have to cut emergency services, e.g. fire department, police/sheriff and the like. Besides, I am a bigger fan of the arts and intellectual exercises. I watched our music and arts programs suffer during the past decade both here in my home town of North Highlands as well as in Fresno, the other place I called home for nine years. While sports does offer a source of revenue, it does not enrich our children in an intellectual or creative way. Not to mention, we now live at a time when crime is going up partly because we cannot afford police to deal with the crime, but also the times themselves foment same. At the very least, make sure we have working fire and police departments. And while we are at it, we need to intellectually and artistically enrich our children. Professional sports has taught little more than about greed and cheating through drugs. --Ian.

The current construction estimates need to be reviewed very carefully by a third party Peer.
