"It's kind of like getting the engagement ring," Mahan said regarding Santa Clara City Council's decision January 15th to move forward with negotiations to subsidize a stadium for the San Francisco 49ers.
"I'm ecstatic," Jed York, son of team owners John and Denise DeBartolo York, said after the 6-1 vote.
San Francisco 49ers officials stated that paperwork would be filed first thing in the morning to start the Environmental Impact Report required for the stadium.
But something seemed to have been lost in the translation from ecstasy into action, as the billionaire's corporation did not submit paperwork first thing the next morning.
In fact, it was 8 long weeks before the SF 49ers made the very first move in getting the paperwork done for a stadium. March 14th, they ponied up a paltry $14,113 to start the review process for building a 68,500-seat stadium in Santa Clara.
It would appear that Santa Clara's suitor is treating us like the dumb cousin of our exotic neighbor to the north.
And Mme. Mayor, you might want to check your finger. That engagement ring just might turn it green.
