San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer has suggested to NFL executives that “potential impacts” from a ballot initiative to a stadium deal “could certainly be mitigated” if the Chargers opposed the initiative.
This is a head scratcher, because the initiative in question, authored by public-interest lawyer Cory Briggs, would (among many other things) remove key environmental obstacles to stadium construction —including those confronting the mayor’s preferred site in Mission Valley, as well as an alternative downtown near Petco Park.
