Friends and foes of Giants stadium face off Supporters praise city council vote By Stacey Coggin Daily staff writer Tom Perez is happy today. He and the rest of the Giants Stadium campaign organizers had their wish come true when the San Jose City Council voted 9-1 Tuesday night to put the decision to build a stadium in the hands of San Jose voters. Now Perez and other pro-stadium campaign mem- bers have their work cut out for them, as they try to gath- er as much voter support as they can in the next three months. "The polls show the vote is going lobe close, about 50-50," said Perez, who was at the council meeting Tuesday along with more than 400 other people. "We've had a good response, excellent support," Perez said. "If we have to, we'll work harder?' The voters of San Jose will decide on June 2 whether or not they want the San Francisco Giants in San Jose. The ballot measure is a vote on whether the city can use general funds to help finance construction of a multi-use major league stadium within a program that would also fund improvements in public schools, educa- tional programs, college scholarships and city wide anti- drug and anti-gang programs. Stadium opponents are upset that the ballpark issue is linked with education and safety. They would like to see the issues separated. "This is a comment on what San Jose thinks is important. Baseball first, safety second and third is kids," said Kathy Chavez Napoli, a leader of Citizens Against Stadium Taxes. "Fund schools and safety separate from the stadium. Build it privately." Other opposition comes from taxpayers who want the private stadium to be financed by private citizens who will benefit from the ballpark. "I can't understand you people," Herb Knoll said. "San Francisco doesn't want them. You're taking a bad Scott Sady - Daily staff photographer apple.
