Opposition to Husky Stadium aid taking to the sky

A message in the sky.
Senate Bill 6116, sponsored by Seattle Democratic Sens. Ed Murray and Jeanne Kohl-Welles, would help pay for an expansion of KeyArena and projects at Safeco Field, as well as provide money for King County arts groups, youth sports, tourism promotion and other things -- possibly including Husky Stadium.
While the stadium is not named in the bill, the flying banner zeroed in on the project with the message: "No Husky Stadiums Bailout Tax."
It's unclear who is behind the banner, but here is a link to reporter Jim Brunner's blog item Tuesday about the bill.
