SACRAMENTO, Calif.
Womens Nike Air Vapormax . -- Billionaire
Chris Hansen, who tried to move the Kings NBA franchise from Sacramento to
Seattle, is behind a secretive effort to thwart the citys efforts to build a new
downtown arena for the professional basketball team, Californias campaign
watchdog disclosed Friday after an investigation. The announcement is an
embarrassment for Hansen, who lost his bid after NBA owners voted to keep the
team in Californias capital city, and it could undermine support for the local
ballot measure Hansen funded that is designed to put to a citywide vote the
councils planned $258 million subsidy for a downtown arena. "I made a mistake I
regret," Hansen said in a written statement. "While Im sure everyone can
appreciate how easy it is to get caught up in the heat of battle, with the
benefit of hindsight, this is clearly a decision I regret." Hansen had said he
would end his effort to buy the Kings for $625 million after the NBA blocked the
sale, and a group of investors led by technology executive Vivek Ranadive bought
the team a day later for $535 million. Hansen publicly wished the city well
after losing his bid to buy the team. Yet the California Fair Political
Practices Commission said that a month later, Hansen gave $80,000 to pay
signature gatherers trying to get the measure on next Junes ballot, and the
group violated state law by refusing to disclose the donation. The NBA has said
that Sacramento must build a modern arena to keep the Kings in town. The teams
new owners have set a 2016 target. Hansens money was funneled through the Los
Angeles law firm of Loeb & Loeb. Hansen said the firm approached him about
making a contribution to the petition effort after he had hired them to gauge
citizen opposition during the battle over the sale. Members of Sacramento
Taxpayers Opposed to Pork, which filed to put the initiative on the June 2014
ballot, distanced themselves from the money and said they use only volunteers to
circulate petitions. Spokesman John Hyde said the money went to a political
group that offered to assist STOPs efforts. "No doubt this is a PR nightmare for
STOP," Hyde said. "We didnt know where that money came from and we werent the
recipient of any of that funding." The signature gatherers are halfway to the
22,000 they need to qualify the measure by December, Hyde said. Gary Winuk,
chief of the commissions enforcement division, said Hansen donated $100,000
total. It was not immediately clear what happened to the additional $20,000,
though Winuk said it might have been spent on other expenses. He said the
investigation is continuing. "These are as sophisticated parties as you can get
and they should know better," Winuk said. "Most people just comply when we call
them. They just happened to make us take them to court." The donors were
intentionally denying the public information that could help them decide whether
to sign the petition, he said. The commission filed a lawsuit Thursday to learn
the donors identity and revealed during a Friday news conference that it was
Hansen. "Unbelievable," said state Senate President pro Tempore Darrel
Steinberg, who is from Sacramento and was active in efforts to keep the Kings in
town. Kings and NBA officials declined comment, as did Sacramento Mayor Kevin
Johnson, a former NBA all-star who led the fight to keep the team. Suspicion
about the origins of the money originally had fallen on the Maloof family that
previously owned the team because the same law firm had long represented them.
The commission was dropping its lawsuit, but Winuk said Hansen and the law firm
could face a civil fine of up to $80,000 plus an administrative fine of up to
$5,000 for each of at least three campaign-reporting violations.
