SB 1439 would have been beneficial for the City of Santa Clara in their dealings with the SF 49ers. The A's and the City of Oakland are in negotiations for the A's proposal of a new ballpark and the additional development that goes with it, a new mayor and two city council members were just elected, not sure if the A's backed them financially. Apparently, one new elected council member was against the project, but is now open to look into it. The size of this project is one of the largest ever, the A's and MLB are putting pressure on the City, with threats to move. The leaders of the City, who will make the final decision, should not be financially involved with the A's.
