Report: Chris Hansen Contributes to Prop 1

According to a Seattle Times report, potential NBA investor Chris Hansen has contributed twenty thousand dollars in support of Seattle Proposition 1, a measure that increases taxes and car fees to help fund the city's bus service.

"He wants to be civically engaged," said Proposition 1 campaign consultant Sandeep Kaushik. In March, Hansen's Arena Co gave $20,000 to a county transit-and-roads campaign. "He just wants to express his commitment and sees it as a good thing," Kaushik said.

He's still working for us, guys.
