SAN DIEGO -- According to San Diego city attorney Jan Goldsmith, the determination of whether the San Diego Chargers need two-thirds or a simple majority of votes for approval of the team’s stadium plan in November could be delayed until December or later.
In order to speed up that process, Goldsmith wrote a letter to the California State Supreme court this week, asking them to expedite a decision on the city of Upland’s appeal that classified citizens’ initiatives as simple majorities.
According to California state law, measures requesting an increase of a special tax for a single purpose in local government require a two-thirds vote.
