The Chargers to Go to the Ballot by the End of the Year
The goal is to bring the final agreement to the ballot, assuming this can be reached. At the least this would happen at a city wide special election on December 15. This is “before the NFL will allow teams relocation in January 2016.â€
So what does this have to do at all with the prize of tea in China? Our local city government, passed, after a lot of discussion, a minimum wage hike. No, it was not $15 \hour, but it should. Our mayor vetoed the increase, and the city council overrode the veto.
In most places that would be the end of it... but there is more.
The local power elite went ahead and lied, yes lied, to the public to qualify this wage hike for the 2016 June ballot.
This is affecting many single women, who are trying to raise families on minimum wage jobs. Yes, I did write jobs. Plural of job.
It also affects many people of color, who also have to work multiple jobs, since San Diego is the 4th most expensive city in the country. We have amazing levels of poverty as well.
In the meantime, we have the mayor, and the elite, doing just about anything to keep an NFL team... did I mention the job production and economic aid to a city that has a team is mostly small to non existent? But we get a lot of team pride... last time I checked I could not eat team pride.
To the inevitable jury this is a policy statement, same for the inevitable hosts

10. Why the chamber spent a lot of money and lied though their teeth, to quality if to the ballot
Once it qualified for the ballot, under city charter, the council could have withdrawn it, or let the vote happen. So now it is up to the voters since the council stuck to their guns.
The chamber does this often. I, and others, have joked a few times that we really should not bother paying the council at all, and just let the chamber pull these stunts. They have done this to the point of overriding planning documents. The last where that happened, of major consequence, is where the port sits. They wanted to remove some industrial waste from zoning laws, since kids are literally sick from it. The chamber could not wait to take it to the voters and tell them the Navy would leave if they did that.
They even lied as to how large the military footprint is in San Diego anymore, it is large, but nothing like it was
Somehow, to nutcase nadin this additional word salad has something to do with the NFL.

3. Excellent writing Nadin
and an intensely worthy subject to write about.
DUmmy Aerows still claims to owe $18,000 for rabies shots after she tried to pet a wild raccoon.
We don't call 'em DUmmies for nothing.

6. There are many things that are presented
in a singular way. That is part of the problem. How things are connected is rarely done.
But we need to start connecting these things. That said, people in the inner city ARE pissed about the stadium. To be fair, so are many middle class voters, who might just help the team pack. That said, they are planning for a special election (about a million bucks to put it together), in December. People will not show up at the ballots, this is by design. No, it is not my tin foil tingling.
Sleep soundly, knowing a nutcase is doing the tough work so you don't have to:

8. That remimds me
I need to at least glance at that FEDERAL budget, and I still need to go though the county one too.
I do read that crap... it requires gallons of coffee.
Did you know millions of 0bamaites and mexicans are in prison because of a football team?
