Practically all year, elected officials in Oregon have been trying to solve a puzzle: How can they ensure the enigmatic new owner of the Trail Blazers doesn’t attempt to take the team elsewhere, but not lose the public’s metaphorical shirt in the process? We now have a basic idea of what that approach looks like. This week – after a fair amount of drama – the Portland City Council finalized the terms the city will seek in exchange for funding a renovation of the Moda Center. If all goes as planned, they’ll join the state and Multnomah County in funding that roughly $600 million dollar project.

Portland's relationship with the Trailblazers has hit a breaking point. New owner Tom Dundon asked the city for nearly $600 million to renovate Moda Center and got a cold shoulder from a city council that would rather fund protest causes than keep an NBA franchise. Sean breaks down why this isn't just a sports story — it's the clearest preview yet of Portland's terminal business climate.Mayor Keith Wilson and the Portland City Council face an August 12 vote on the arena lease, but the real issue is structural. Oregon's highest-in-nation tax burden, a decade of riots, open-air drug markets, and a reflexively anti-business culture have already driven companies out by the hundreds. When an NBA team can't get a serious infrastructure conversation, you know the city has lost the plot entirely.Sean puts the odds at 75-25 that the Blazers land in Austin — a city that actually wants them. The franchise that gave Portland Bill Walton and Clyde Drexler deserves a home that can compete for talent and investment. Portland chose the ideology; now it may lose the last major pro sports team to prove what that choice costs.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily commentary on Pacific Northwest politics and the national stories that actually matter.#NFRP #Portland #KeithWilsonGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

A Moda Center deal is in the works, and the Portland City Council will vote in just a few weeks to decide if it will spend public money on a renovation. But details are hazy about where exactly the funding would come from.   Mayor Keith Wilson and city councilors have suggested they’ll draw upon city revenue streams such as the Portland Clean Energy Fund and a fund within Prosper Portland, the city’s urban development agency. But the boards that govern those sets of funding would first have to determine if their revenue can be spent on the arena.   It’s just the latest in a long saga that has involved negotiations between the Trail Blazers and city officials to keep the team in Portland and meet demands for renovations.   Alex Zielinski covers Portland politics for OPB. She joins us to break down the latest  updates.
