CALIFORNIA IN BRIEF : OAKLAND : New Plan to Lure Raiders Is Debated
The City Council met behind closed doors to debate the latest plan to lure back the NFL’s Raiders. The council is expected to vote on the matter next Tuesday. “If we vote this in, they will move to Oakland,” Councilman Richard Spees said before the meeting. Fans hope the latest plan to return the team from Los Angeles will sit better with taxpayers than an earlier one trashed by public outcry. The plan contains no guarantees or loans to the team and requires that the Raiders pay $500,000 in annual rent to the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.
