And, yeah, if fraud is proven the city, on behalf of the taxpayers, should sue the PBC.
What for? We passed a sales tax with a portion being contingent on getting an NBA team. If we don't get them, then we don't build the practice facility. If we break ground on it and the team subsequently doesn't come, it's anybody's guess on how THAT would work out...
