SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A city of San Diego ballot measure that would raise hotel room taxes to partially fund a downtown football stadium for the Chargers trailed with just 39.7 percent of the vote in Tuesday night's election.
Measure C is one of a dozen local propositions that confronted San Diego voters, with questions also regarding election scheduling, San Diego High School and funding for improvements at regional parks, among other things.
Since it could impact whether the Chargers remain in San Diego, Measure C has received by far the most publicity.
The proposal advanced by the team called for a combination football stadium and convention facility to be built in the East Village near Petco Park.
