Redevelopment Agency Giving Millions of Dollars to 49er Stadium Swindle

by repost
*Assist with the development of a new San Francisco 49ers football stadium and commercial project consistent with Propositions D and F that San Francisco voters approved on June 3, 1997.” This section was added to the Baview Redevelopment Plan as of March 27, 2006. The 49er Stadium Swindle will get all the public money this private profit gambling racket wants, courtesy the local election-frauding Democratic-Republican Parties.
"Assist with the development of a new San Francisco 49ers football stadium and commercial project consistent with Propositions D and F that San Francisco voters approved on June 3, 1997.” This section was added to the Baview Redevelopment Plan as of March 27, 2006. The 49er Stadium Swindle will get all the public money this private profit gambling racket wants, courtesy the local election-frauding Democratic-Republican Parties.

Nazi Newsom, the current election-frauding Democratic Party "mayor" who sits in office with election fraud (Matt Gonzalez won the mayor's race of 2003), as does his fellow Democrat, district attorney, Kamala Harris, is now openly stealing THE ENTIRE SAN FRANCISCO TREASURY for this vicious, despicable gambling racket, the 49er Stadium Swindle, WHICH LOST ON JUNE 3, 1997, as we voted 70% No, and the Democrats' election fraud team changed to 50.2% "yes." Then these thugs murdered the chief witness to an election fraud lawsuit, Delores Evans, a pollworker, and 5 children, in their Housing Authority home, on December 13, 1997, 10 days after the election fraud lawsuit was filed, in a mysterious fire in the early morning hours. The fire inspector told the Hearst Examiner that they could have escaped but someone stopped them. You can read all about this horror at:

The 49er Stadium Swindle was supported by the Democratic and Republican Parties and opposed by the socialist Peace & Freedom Party and the Green Party. The entire June 3, 1997 ballot was contrived, brought to us by the lifelong pro-gambling, anti-rent control, fascist thug Democrat, Willie Brown, whose second term as mayor was illegal as Tom Ammiano won the 1999 mayor's race.

This election fraud team consists of not only the Demorats & Republicans, but also the Chamber of Commerce, the San Francisco Police Department, Glide Church and Cecil Williams, Amos Brown and Third Baptist Church, Nation of Islam, Housing Authority, TURF, Walden House, and A. Phillip Randolph Institute.

The lawyers for the 49er Stadium Swindle are also Republican Party lawyers and anti-rent control lawyers.

Gavin Newsom ran as an anti-rent control, pro-real estate company candidate, and has absolutely nothing to offer the workingclass. His brief apperaances at labor rallies for the hotel workers are just publicity stunts. He does nothing to obtain a new union contract, which after years of struggle, still does not exist. Since 75% of San Francisco voters support gay marriage, he can use gay rights as a publicity stunt, which Willie Brown also did, although we saw that as mayor, Willie Brown was viciously anti-gay, with his framing of a city librarian on phony child molesting charges when the librarian circulated a petition objecting to problems at the New Main Library, and when he supported the Catholic Church's attack on our right to use our streets as we wish when the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence wanted their street party in the Castro on the Christian easter, which party took place anyway, and it was glorious.

NAZI NEWSOM IS NOW READY TO STEAL THE ENTIRE SAN FRANCISCO TREASURY FOR THE 49ER STADIUM SWINDLE UNLESS WE PROTEST. Call or Email all of the Board of Supervisors listed in your phone book and at:

Bayview Redevelopment Allows Public Funding of 49ers Stadium
by Randy Shaw‚ Apr. 10‚ 2006

During two lengthy hearings last month on the proposed Bayview-Hunters Point Redevelopment Area, proponents of the plan described how the Agency would fund affordable housing, help small businesses, reduce crime, and otherwise improve the neighborhood. But nobody talked about the need to funnel tens if not hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars into building a new 49ers stadium. Yet the proposed Bayview Redevelopment Area includes Candlestick Park, and would allow public financing of a new stadium without voter or Board of Supervisors approval. In fact, some believe that Mayor Newsom’s attempt to allegedly bypass the voters in changing the stadium/mall plan passed in 1997 is simply a diversionary tactic; a Bayview Redevelopment Area could secure the 49ers a publicly funded stadium through tax increment financing without the money authorized in the 1997 initiative.

Amidst the hundreds of pages of information about the proposed Bayview-Hunters Point Redevelopment Plan, here is a passage many may have overlooked:

Candlestick Point

"Assist with the development of a new San Francisco 49ers football stadium and commercial project consistent with Propositions D and F that San Francisco voters approved on June 3, 1997.”

Significantly, this passage is included in a Plan that was amended as recently as March 27, 2006. In other words, the Board of Supervisors passage of the Bayview Redevelopment Plan would reaffirm the city’s ongoing intent to use public funds to build a 49ers stadium.

Regardless of what the court or Mayor Newsom decides about the continued viability of the 1997 initiative, the 49ers can get all the public money they need from the Bayview Redevelopment Area. The deal is thus wired for the potential transfer of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars for a new 49ers stadium that polls show voters overwhelmingly oppose.

Why is building a 49ers stadium mentioned in a Plan that was updated as recently as two weeks ago? If using public funds to build a new stadium was not contemplated, the Plan would not highlight the Redevelopment Agency’s assistance in furthering this goal.

Since Bayview Redevelopment will give the 49ers all of the public money they need, some may wonder why Newsom asked State Senator Carole Migden to carry state legislation to help implement Props D and F.

Barbara Meskunas of the San Francisco Taxpayers Union, a longtime critic of the Redevelopment Agency, thinks she has the answer: Newsom’s recent high-profile actions around the 1997 initiative is a “smokescreen.” It is a strategy designed to divert attention from the fact that the creation of a Bayview Redevelopment Area will enable city funds to flow freely to the 49ers without a new election or Board of Supervisors approval.

Even more troubling is that while the stadium-mall initiative capped the public subsidy at $100 million, the Redevelopment Plan does not limit the amount of tax increment money that the Agency can spend on a new 49ers stadium.

In addition to specifically emphasizing the need to assist the development of a new stadium, the Redevelopment Plan’s Executive Summary states that a primary goal is “promoting the enhancement of existing land uses.” Given these signals, neither the voters nor the Supervisors can complain later when the Agency spends millions of tax increment funds on a new 49ers home.

So while headlines stir debate as to whether Mayor Newsom should commit public funds for a 49ers stadium without voter approval, the issue will soon become irrelevant. If the Bayview Redevelopment Plan is enacted , the Mayor will have all of the money he needs to fund all of the luxury boxes 49ers owner John Yorke desires for his team’s new home.

Proponents of Bayview Redevelopment spoke about affordable housing, small business assistance, open space, and creating mixed-use developments. If they want to ensure that the Agency prioritizes these activities, they should demand that the Plan be amended to prevent the 49ers stadium from getting a dime.

Otherwise, the Bayview Redevelopment Plan will become a conduit for diverting millions of dollars from schools, health care and social service needs to go into the pockets of the billionaire Yorke family.

And there will be nothing the voters or Board of Supervisors can do to stop it.
