Someone enlighten me with the Hamister bid. My numbers are not exact. But I think this is what bothers Pataki.
Hamisters bid to buy the team has a provision for a deal for I don't know, 15-23 million to go to Adelphia.
Then he asks the state for 23 million + for a parking ramp, curtain etc.
The state is saying wait, in essence, if this money doesn't go to Adelphia, you wouldn't need us. So essentially the state funds replace the money you are giving to Adelphia.
Hamister says no, it is strictly going for the sale of the team, the arena is a separate issue.
