Why doesn't this issue go on the ballot when the mayoralty election comes up? The city of San Diego held a vote whether to agree to a hotel surtax that would be raised to pay for a new stadium for the Chargers. The citizens voted NO-and that was it (the Chargers have subsequently left for Los Angeles and ultimately will play in a >90% privately financed stadium that they will share with the Rams)--so Nenshi--put it to a vote as to whether the citizens of Calgary want their tax $$ spent to finance such a venture???
