Jed York buys a victory for the 49ers

It turns out the 49ers did get a win last week after all. Only it wasn’t on the field.

In a way, you could say it was about the field — the one at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.

Earlier we told you about the efforts by 49ers owner Jed York to vote in team-friendly candidates to the Santa Clara city council. And when we say “efforts,” what we really mean is mounds of cash. In all, York contributed a staggering $2.9 million to the campaigns of four candidates. A cool $3 million . . . for a city council election.
