Arizona legislature passes the budget without the arena funding bill. It hasn't been for consideration for about a month.

With the budget done this officially kills any public funding for a new arena for the Coyotes.

Only chance now is if the team puts more money on the table either through a new bill next year or try something through tribe. Either way, they need new investors and Barroway is in the process of finding people to buy out his partners with no luck for far.

The team has a lease valid only through the 2017/18 season.
