SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Chargers officials said Tuesday they expect their proposed ballot measure to build a $1.8 billion downtown San Diego stadium and convention center annex will require a two-thirds vote to pass, despite a recent court ruling.
Chargers stadium consultant Fred Maas made the comment during a briefing to several reporters on the initiative, which could be unveiled to the public any day now.
Tax increases in California have required two-thirds public votes, but the state Fourth District Court of Appeal ruled earlier this month that hikes resulting from initiatives need only a simple majority for approval.
