Excuse me, local resident here.
Santa Clara City residents approved $400 million in financing.
City Council went ahead with a promise for ... $1.3 billion so far. So most of it was not voted on at all.
- bringles 11y agoBut how were the council members appointed? Resident approval must be involved somehow. If this city council is doing a bad job (seems like it), push for a new council. If the tide is too strong against, you have to challenge ideas. A lot of folks seem to believe there's a legal apparatus we need to invent that can solve this, when it's perfectly sufficient to just get traction for a critical stance on concussionball (gasp!)
- throwaway60453 11y ago> push for a new council Kinda late, since the stadium is already built.

- jessaustin 11y agoAnd they get to keep all but the most egregious bribes...
- ec109685 11y agoHasn't most of that been paid back already due to personal seat licenses?
